Frequently Asked Questions About Person-Centred Therapy

1. What is person-centred therapy?
Person-centred therapy is a counselling approach that focuses on providing empathy, acceptance, and understanding, allowing you to explore your feelings and experiences at your own pace.

2. What happens in a person-centred therapy session?
Sessions are client-led, meaning you decide what to talk about. Your therapist listens, reflects, and supports you without judgement or pressure.

3. Who can benefit from person-centred therapy?
It can help with anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, relationship issues, grief, and personal growth. It’s suitable for anyone who wants a supportive, non-judgemental space.

4. How is person-centred therapy different from other types of counselling?
Unlike directive approaches, it doesn’t give advice or solutions. Instead, it empowers you to find your own insights and make changes at your own pace.

5. How long does person-centred therapy take?
There’s no set timeframe — some people benefit from short-term support, while others prefer longer-term therapy. It depends on your needs and goals.
