The Person-Centered Approach

Person-centered psychotherapy is a humanistic approach based on the work of Carl Rogers. It assumes that every person has the potential for self-actualization and for solving their own problems.

In therapy, I create a safe space where you can explore yourself. I offer you unconditional positive regard, empathy, and authenticity. This therapeutic relationship can help you let go of old patterns and beliefs that prevent you from reaching your full potential.

The Therapeutic Relationship

My goal is to build a trusting relationship in which you feel safe and free to express your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment or criticism.

I am here to help you achieve your personal goals and live a fulfilling life. The therapeutic relationship is at the heart of the person-centered approach – it is the healing element of therapy.

The Three Core Conditions

• Empathy: I strive to understand your world from your perspective and communicate this understanding.
• Unconditional Positive Regard: I accept you as you are, without conditions or judgments.
• Congruence: I am authentic and genuine in the therapeutic relationship.

The Therapy Process

In the initial consultation, we get to know each other and discuss your concerns. Together, we clarify whether and how therapy with me can be helpful for you.

Therapy sessions usually take place weekly and last 50 minutes. The duration of therapy depends on your individual needs and goals.
