Person Centered Therapy in Calgary

Person Centered Therapy and Counselling Calgary

All of our Calgary Psychologist clinic’s therapists are well versed in person centered therapy. Person-centered therapy, also known as client-centered therapy, is a humanistic approach to psychotherapy that places the client at the center of the therapeutic process. It was developed by psychologist Carl Rogers in the mid-20th century and has since become a widely utilized therapeutic approach.

The main principle of person-centered therapy is the belief in the inherent capacity of individuals to grow and develop in a positive direction. It emphasizes the importance of creating a supportive and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where clients feel safe and accepted. The therapist adopts an empathetic and genuine attitude, seeking to understand the client’s subjective experience and perspective without imposing their own interpretations or judgments.

One of the core elements of person-centered therapy is unconditional positive regard. The therapist shows genuine care, acceptance, and non-judgment toward the client, regardless of their thoughts, feelings, or actions. This unconditional positive regard fosters a sense of trust and openness, allowing clients to explore their emotions and experiences freely.

Another key aspect is empathetic understanding. The therapist strives to deeply understand the client’s experiences by actively listening, reflecting, and validating their feelings. This empathetic understanding helps clients gain insight into their own emotions and promotes self-acceptance and personal growth.

Person-centered therapy also emphasizes the concept of congruence or genuineness. The therapist aims to be authentic and transparent in their interactions with clients, fostering a genuine and honest therapeutic relationship. This congruence allows clients to feel heard and understood, enhancing their self-awareness and self-acceptance.

Unlike some other therapeutic approaches that focus on providing solutions or advice, person-centered therapy does not direct or guide clients toward specific goals. Instead, it trusts that clients have the ability to identify their own needs and solutions. The therapist acts as a facilitator, supporting the client’s self-exploration and assisting them in gaining insights and making choices that align with their own values and aspirations.

Person-centered therapy has been found effective in various contexts and with diverse populations. It has been applied in individual, group, and couples therapy, as well as in educational settings and community interventions. This approach empowers individuals, promotes self-growth, and enhances self-esteem and self-acceptance.

In summary, person-centered therapy is a humanistic and client-centered approach that values the client’s autonomy, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. It creates a safe and supportive therapeutic environment where clients can explore their experiences, gain self-insight, and develop a greater sense of self-acceptance and personal growth.
