What is person-centred counselling?

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” Carl Rogers

Person-centred counselling, or therapy, is a humanistic, optimistic and phenomenological (everything!) approach to helping work. Person-centred counselling works on the belief that every individual, within themselves, has potential and capacity for dramatic, positive growth. How do we discover this? Through exploration, and self-acceptance.
