Some people may also choose to attend counselling or psychotherapy without having a specific problem or issue, but rather because they wish pursue their own personal development work in the hope of achieving more of their potential so as to live life in a more meaningful and fulfilling way.
Our Approach
All counsellors and psychotherapists working in the Centre practise within a humanistic or person-centered orientation. This means that the focus in the therapy process is on the personal, subjective experience of the client. The person’s own inner wisdom, freedom, and responsibility for self are regarded as central to the process.
Everyone seeking help is recognised as having an embodied, spiritual, psychological and social life. While each person's individuality and uniqeness is respected, we also recognise that within each of us there are depths that reach beyond the our individuality and through which our lives are sustained and have meaning.
