Person Centered Therapy

Image by Rupert Britton

Person Centered Therapy: originally developed by Carl Rogers, is a humanistic approach to psychotherapy that emphasizes the inherent worth of each individual and their natural capacity for growth. The term humanistic refers to a psychological perspective that focuses on the whole person, highlighting autonomy, free will, self-actualization, and the subjective experience of the client. Within this framework, the therapist’s role is non-directive and grounded in providing the “core conditions” of empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard, which create a safe environment where clients can explore themselves and move toward greater psychological well-being (Rogers, 1951).
