RJ Counselling

Person-centred counselling (also known as client-centred or Rogerian therapy) is a form of psychotherapy developed by Carl Rogers. It is based on the belief that individuals have the capacity for self-awareness and the ability to make positive changes in their lives.

The key principles of person-centred counselling include: Unconditional Positive Regard, Empathy, Congruence (Genuineness), Client Self-Exploration and taking a Non-Directive Approach.

The goal of person-centred counselling is to empower individuals to become more self-aware, develop a stronger sense of self, and make positive changes in their lives. It can be applied to a wide range of issues, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and personal development.

Solution-focused brief therapy is a goal-orientated and time-limited therapeutic approach that focuses on finding solutions rather than dwelling on problems. It is based on the belief that individuals already possess the resources and strengths necessary to create positive change in their lives.

Key principles of Solution- focused brief therapy include: focusing on solutions, future orientation, client-centred approach, scaling questions and miracle questions.

The term "therapeutic toolbox" is often used metaphorically to describe the collection of therapeutic techniques, strategies, and interventions that a mental health professional has at their disposal.
