Therapy For Anxiety

Person Centred Therapy is a psychological approach in the humanistic school that emphasises the individual’s inherent drive towards self-realisation and personal growth. This approach was pioneered by Carl Rogers in the 1940s, as a reaction against the more deterministic and behaviourist views at the time. His orientation is based on the trust on the client's autonomy and that, once offered the conditions of empathy, congruence and full acceptance, the client would be capable of growth and therapeutic change.

If you’re experiencing persistenet feelings of sadness, anxiety, stress or facing challenges that impact your daily life, relationships or work, counselling can prove beneficial in helping your way through. It’s also helpful for those seeking personal development, self-discovery or looking to improve their coping skills.

Confidentiality is one of the cornerstones of counselling. Your right to privacy is treated with the utmost respect, and information shared during our sessions is kept strictly confidential. There are a few rare exceptions, but these will be outlined and explained in full during the counselling agreement. This ensures a safe and trusting therapeutic environment.

The frequency of your sessions depends on your individual needs and goals. You will initially benefit from more frequent sessions, and as time goes on and you make progress these will become less frequent. We will discuss this at length, and work together to decide on a schedule that works best for you.

As a provider of humanistic therapy in London, with experience working with NHS workers, I have helped my clients navigate a range of conditions including anxiety, depression and relationship issues. The humanistic approach is holistic and can be tailored to suit any condition or concern.

Sessions are designed to provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings. I will actively listen, offer empathy and work collaboratively with you to promote self-discovery and personal growth.

The duration of your therapy plan depends on your individual needs and goals – We will discuss this during our consultation.

The relationship between patient and counsellor is crucial for Person Centred Therapy. I therefore aim to provide unconditional positivity, empathy and authenticity to create a trusting and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable expressing yourself.

While we may explore past experiences, the primary focus is on your present thoughts and feelings. Humanistic therapy focuses on the here and now, and encourages the client to take personal responsibility for their actions and choices so they can move forwards.

Person Centred Therapy can and does benefit a wide range of individuals, but its effectiveness may vary. It may be that a combination of therapeutic approaches may be best for you, so we will discuss what approach or combination of approaches would align best with your needs.

To get started with your humanistic therapy journey, simply reach out by filling out my contact form to schedule your initial session. No specific preparation is required: Just come in with an open mind and a willingness to explore your thoughts and emotions.

I don't assess the client at any time, usually, the improvement in therapy depends on the quality of the relationship that we manage to establish in the room. Once there is an environment of trust and openness this should hopefully give you a sense of relief and ability to communicate difficult feelings.
