What is person-centred counselling used for?
Person-centred counselling is better suited for clients who prefer the freedom of talking about their problems in a supportive and facilitative environment. Rather than follow a more directive, structured approach with specific techniques.
It is ideal for individuals who are motivated by self-discovery and work towards solving their issues.
During a person-centred counselling session, the person-centred therapist will encourage clients to bring their own issues to the session. Here, the client leads the entire counselling session, instead of the counsellor.
Person-centred counselling is a flexible form of therapy, because of its individualistic approach. Therefore, it’s used to treat several issues or conditions like:
- Relationship problems
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Bereavement
- Addictions
- Sexuality
- Anger
- Difficult transitions in life
