I take an integrative therapeutic approach grounded in Person-Centered Theory (PCT).
Fancy Words! In simple terms, this means that as a therapist, I can use a mix of different therapy techniques, but the foundation of my approach is based on the Person-Centered Theory.
PCT is a type of therapy where the therapist creates a supportive and non-judgmental environment, allowing the client to lead the conversation and find their own solutions. Person-Centred therapists such as myself believe that people have an inherent ability to grow and improve when they are in a positive and accepting environment.
When a therapist uses an "integrative approach," they might borrow methods from different types of therapy, like cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and others, but they always focus on the core principles of Person-Centered Theory: empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness with the client. This means the therapist respects and trusts the client's ability to find their own path to healing while also using other helpful tools to support them.
