COUNSELLING AND THERAPY STYLES AND TYPES

Person-centred counselling

pic 1The therapist is non judgemental, accepting and permissive. The therapist offers unconditional positive regard and empathy. The client feels valued and listened to. This allows the client to increase their confidence and develop inner resources to find answers and achieve goals.

Psychodynamic counselling

pic 2Focuses on childhood relationships as an important influence on current behaviour, and the client/ therapist relationship (the dynamics) and how that may reflect in relationships with significant people in the client's life. Also looks at the importance of the unconscious and subconscious thoughts as an influence on behaviour.

Motivational interviewing

Solution focussed therapy

pic 3Focuses on the client's goals, and the changes needed to achieve them. Emphasis is on goals rather then "problems".
