PERSON CENTRED COUNSELLING

IMG_20190911_103944041.jpg

WHAT IS IT?

The Person Centred Approach (PCA) is an approach to human relationships which values attitudes such as not judging others, trying to understand the experiences of others from their point of view, and fully honouring the uniqueness of the individuals we meet in a genuine and heartfelt way. Perhaps most importantly, PCA places a high value on autonomy – that is, the right of a person to be self-governing - make their own decisions and follow their own path in life according to what feels right for them.
The uses of the PCA have been expanded to address problems in many areas of human life. It has been used in a wide range of health and social care settings, such as nursing, teaching & education, working with the elderly, and in planning to care for patients with Alzheimer’s and dementia in a humane and dignifying way. Other applications have been in business and management, conflict resolution and encouraging open and genuine communication within groups.

WHY THIS APPROACH?

Person Centred Counselling is important because it:
Values relationships based on dignity and respect for individuals.
Empowers people to make informed choices that feel right for them.
Fosters long-term change rather than focusing on short-term solutions.
Takes a holistic approach that supports the well-being of the person as a whole (emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually).
Values each person’s unique differences, abilities, needs, preferences, beliefs, interests, ethnicity and cultural background.
Fosters supportive relationships in which individuals can feel listened to, accepted and positively valued.
