Person-Centred Approach
In humanistic model I use the ultimate goal for counselling is to help you to recognise and accept your own internal worth and to be congruent with who you really are in your essence.
Therapist is not there to solve all of your problems but rather to help guide and support you to gain insight and understanding for yourself.
It’s about devoting the time, the care and the self-reflection to better understand the life you lead and to develop the skills useful in facing the difficulties life throws at you.
