Rest Assured Counselling

About

The Person-Centred Approach is a humanistic approach that deals with the ways in which individuals perceive themselves consciously rather than how a counsellor can interpret their unconscious thoughts or ideas. As a counsellor and psychotherapist I use this approach to understand an individual's experience from their point of view. As a counsellor and psychotherapist I positively value the client as a person in all aspects of their humanity, while aiming to be open, non-judgmental and genuine. I believe this approach is best because the person-centred approach has three core values which are vital to helping an individual feel accepted and better understand their own feelings - essentially helping them to reconnect with their inner values and sense of self-worth.
These core values a counsellor should have are:
• Congruence - the counsellor must be completely genuine.
• Unconditional positive regard - the counsellor must be non-judgemental.
• Empathy - the counsellor must strive to understand the client's point of view.
Are you feeling as if Life is getting on top of you?
• Finding some things are difficult to deal with?
• Are your once manageable feelings now seems unmanageable?
• Are you finding it hard to maintain important relationships or to build new ones?
• Finding it hard to let go of the past and concrete on the here and now?
• Are you having problems with anger, depression, anxiety and panic?
• Has something happened which left you struggling to cope or handle such as a stressful work situation, illness, divorce, loss of a loved one or pet. Having work problems or stress?
• Is your family life, relationship, or marriage not where it use be and you wanting it better?
• Do you know that sometimes an event from the past or a series of events can really rock you and cause you to question your very existence, your values and what’s important, as well as your confidence?
• Does it seem as if you have difficulty in coping with anything very well?

Sometimes stressful situations can affect our confidence and self-esteem and even relationships and can even affect our motivation. Seeking counselling isn’t a sign of weakness, but of strength and courage. Counselling can’t change the past, but it can make a difference to the present and the future. Seeking help or counselling is never a sign of weakness, but more a step in the positive direction in turning your life or situation around for the better.
