Person-centred Therapists talk about something called the Core Conditions, which I aim to have in my relationship with you. They are:
- empathy (the ability to imagine myself in your position)
- unconditional positive regard (warm, positive feelings, regardless of the person's behaviour)
- congruence (honesty and openness).
I aim to understand you the way you are, as you are right now, and ensure you are always at the centre of our therapeutic relationship. I will try to be my whole self and genuine with you.
You can find lots more information about the person-centred approach online, and if you have any questions please feel free to ask.
