What is it?
The Person-Centered approach rests on a simple but powerful idea: that you are the expert on your own life. Rather than imposing a fixed plan, therapy is guided by your needs, your preferences and what you want to explore.
At its heart is the therapeutic relationship itself. Within a space of empathy, acceptance and honesty, people often find they can explore difficult feelings more openly, understand themselves more fully and draw on strengths they didn’t know they had.
