Person Centred Therapy

People During Workshop

​Person-Centred Therapy (PCT), also known as Client-Centred Therapy or Rogerian Therapy, is a humanistic approach to psychotherapy developed by Carl Rogers in the 1950s. It is based on the belief that individuals have an inherent capacity for growth and self-improvement and are the true experts on their own lives.

​

The Foundation of PCT

Person-Centred Therapy provides a supportive, non-judgemental environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. The therapist's role is to foster understanding and acceptance, helping the client develop greater self-awareness and self-acceptance.

​

Core Conditions of PCT

PCT is centred around three fundamental conditions that the therapist strives to provide:

  1. Congruence: The therapist is genuine and authentic in their interactions with the client, creating a sense of trust and openness.

  2. Empathy: The therapist seeks to deeply understand and view the world from the client’s perspective.

  3. Unconditional Positive Regard: The therapist offers non-judgemental acceptance, supporting the client regardless of what they share.

 

These conditions create a safe and nurturing space where clients feel empowered to explore their inner selves and make meaningful changes.

​

Applications of PCT

Person-Centred Therapy is well-suited for:

  • Depression

  • Anxiety

  • Self-esteem issues

  • Personal growth and self-exploration

 

The Goal of PCT

The aim of PCT is to help clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves, fostering greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and the ability to make authentic choices. This process encourages personal growth and leads to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
