Person-Centred Therapy
What Can PCT Help With?
PCT is incredibly versatile and often works well for emotional difficulties that require deep self-exploration and a strong focus on self-worth. It helps with:
- Low Self-Esteem and Lack of Self-Worth: By experiencing genuine acceptance, you begin to internalise that worthiness yourself.
- Relationship Issues: Gaining clarity on your own emotional needs and patterns, which naturally improves interactions with others.
- Anxiety and Mild Depression: It helps you process difficult feelings and gain control over your emotional state by understanding where those feelings originate.
- Coping with Change and Loss: Providing a stable, supportive space to explore difficult life transitions, bereavement, or the sense of losing direction.
- Feeling “Stuck” or Unfulfilled: It helps you align your actions with your inner values, moving closer to the person you genuinely want to be.
The process offers an opportunity to resolve incongruence—the gap between your ideal self and your actual self—which is often the source of mental distress.
Who Can Person-Centred Therapy Help?
PCT is a powerful therapy for almost anyone seeking personal growth, but it is particularly beneficial for:
- Individuals Seeking Deeper Insight: People who are curious about themselves and want to understand the why behind their feelings and choices.
- Those Who Value Freedom and Autonomy: Clients who prefer an approach where they set the pace and direction, rather than following a structured program or checklist.
- Anyone Who Has Felt Judged or Unheard: The radical acceptance offered in PCT can be profoundly healing for those with past experiences of conditional love or criticism.
- Clients New to Therapy: Because of its non-directive and immediately comforting nature, it can be a gentle, accessible starting point for exploring complex issues.
If you believe that the power to heal and change resides within you, and you are ready to explore your true self in a genuinely supportive partnership, Person-Centred Therapy provides the ideal environment.
