Person-Centred Therapy
Person-Centred Therapy (PCT), also known as Client-Centred Therapy, is a warm, non-directive approach rooted in the belief that every individual has the capacity for growth, healing, and self-understanding when the right therapeutic conditions are present. Rather than offering advice or directing the process, Person-Centred Therapy provides a supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace.
This approach emphasises empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard: core conditions that help you develop greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and emotional resilience. At Sage Psychology, we offer Person-Centred Therapy in Wimbledon, Epsom, and online, creating a safe therapeutic relationship where you can feel fully heard, validated, and understood.
What Can Person-Centred Therapy Help With?
Person-Centred Therapy is a versatile approach suitable for a wide range of emotional and psychological concerns, including:
Anxiety or overwhelm
Loss of direction or lack of fulfilment
Low self-esteem or self-worth
Identity-related concerns
Processing challenging life events
Emotional suppression or difficulty expressing feelings.
This approach is also particularly helpful for individuals who value autonomy, self-exploration, and a collaborative therapeutic relationship.
How Person-Centred Therapy Works
Person-Centred Therapy is grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. Instead of leading the discussion or setting assignments, your therapist offers a compassionate, accepting presence, allowing you to safely explore whatever feels most important.
Through this process, you may begin to:
Understand yourself more deeply
Access and express emotions that have been suppressed
Develop healthier self-beliefs
Strengthen self-trust and intuition
Make decisions aligned with your values
Cultivate greater self-compassion.
The focus is not on diagnosis or correction, but on creating the right environment for personal growth and emotional healing.
What to Expect from Sessions
Sessions are guided by your needs and experiences rather than a set agenda. Your therapist will listen attentively, reflect your feelings, and help you build clarity around your inner world. This gentle, explorative space can support you in untangling complex emotions, resolving internal conflicts, and developing a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
You will never be judged, rushed, or pushed in a specific direction. Instead, your voice, pace, and experiences shape the therapeutic journey.
