Person-Centred Counselling / Humanistic Counselling
at Harley Therapy London
Person-Centred / Humanistic Counselling is a
supportive form of
therapy where you are given the space and safety to share your
concerns.
Person-Centred / Humanistic Counselling is based on the philosophy that
individuals are full of potential for growth. Given the right
conditions, people are all capable of being loving, creative and
knowledgeable. Humanistic therapy evolved in the 1950s and 1960s in the
USA as part of a ‘human potential movement’.
What does Person-Centred / Humanistic Counselling look like
in practice?
A Person-Centred Counsellor will ask questions which lead you
to deep discoveries about your feelings, your blind spots, your needs
and your hopes.
Person-centred Counselling forms the backdrop to all our counselling
work. Your
therapist will be empathic, understanding, supportive and
non-judgemental.
