Psychotherapy is defined as an interpersonal treatment that is based on psychological principles involving the therapist and a client who has issues that need to be addressed, the intent is to help the client resolves their problems (Wampold, 2001). This essay will be based on working on an individual who has lost touch with their actualization and is surrounded by people who have no confidence in him and his potential. We will evaluate Sello’s situation and how Person-Centred therapy will be able to help become the person he is instead of carrying a false identity. The next paragraph will look at what is expected from the therapist before they enter into the session and during the session. Person-Centred Counselling is based on the fact …show more content…
This concept is regarded as positive regard because they are able to motivate an individual to seek their own worth and seek love from other people around them, the need for love is intense in the human nature and it brings the sense of belonging to the individual (Seligman & Reichenburg, 2014). 1. Human development in Person-Centred Approach Human development 2. Health and Dysfunctions of Person-Centred Approach 7.1 Health A healthy individual is an individual who has congruency within them and they are able to develop their self-concept which allows them to be in alignment with their experience and feelings without feeling any threat. These individuals are more likely to achieve psychological freedom which leads them to become a fully functioning individual (Dryden, 2007). The individual is open to the experiences and has the locus of evaluation which leads to the individual having to trust themselves to follow the right path. They have a positive self-concept and unconditioned self-regard. The individual is creative and they take risks that will help them adjust to the situation they may be facing, and they are accepting of themselves (Murdock, 2013). 7.2 …show more content…

I also have become passionate for person-centered therapy. As I start to work with students I will need to help the student to emphasis on how they act in their world with others, how they can move forward in a constructive directions, and how they can successfully deal with obstacles that are blocking their growth. The student may be dealing with obstacles from within themselves and outside of themselves. As the counselo...
Person centred care is defined as health care professionals work together for people who use the health care services. Person centred care also helps to support the patient’s knowledge and also helps the patient to develop an understanding of their health condition and also gives them the confidence to effectively manage and make educated decisions about their own health and also the health care in which they receive. (Health Foundation 2014). This suggests that each individual needs to be treated with the same amount of respect and they also need to be treat equally. Furthermore, the RCN (2015) argue that important principles of Person Centred Care are respect, dignity and compassion. As professional it is important that

Next, I am going to discuss the person-centred interventions I exercised through the therapeutic process with my client in session four. Within this I am going to explore how these interventions impacted my client’s responses and how I could improve my skills in future sessions.
During my time in the ward, I recently had a patient with alcohol dependency in my care. My patient, Mr Grey was a 51 year old male patient who was admitted with a fractured neck of femur and consistent hypertension. Mr Grey required a vast amount of medical treatment for his injuries. As well as Mr Grey’s physiological problems he also had poor mental health problems such as depression and anxiety. We later discovered my patient had some social issues and that he was homeless.
According to Shebib (2016) the therapeutic or helping relationship, the role of the counsellor and client has a significant impact on the desired outcome for the client. However, in relation to the two theoretical models of counselling under discussion, the therapeutic relationships differ among the client and therapist roles (Corey 2009). In Person-Centred Therapy, the relationship between client and counsellor is viewed as being the person in the environment and the client is the expert of into their environment. There is a repetition of equality amongst the client-counsellor relationship (Corey, 2009). This notion that focus to placed onto the client and not the problem ( Shebeb, 2017). The counsellor’s attitude has a significant role
Person-Centred Counselling established its origins in the late 1940 during a conference when Carl Rogers gave a talk entitled ‘New Concepts in Psychotherapy’. The summarisation of the talk resulted in the theory that the client in a counselling relationship should be at the center of the relationship and lead the counselling process. The Client, in effect became the expert on their life and/or problems. The fundamental belief is that an individual is capable of change, growth and fulfillment (self-concept). Person-Centred counselling looks at ‘the here and now’ and how to make changes that affect the future. Person-Centred Counselling generated a system known as the ‘Core Conditions Model’ which emphasized three key components: Empathy, Congruence and Acceptance.
Define the term “the whole person” and explain why this is important in human services and explain the components of “the whole person”
Person centred values influence all aspects of health and social care work because it is a law requirement in regards to the Human Rights Act 1988, Health and Social Care Act 2012 along with codes of practice for social care workers, health and social care should be based on person centred values. Person centred values in care is an approach that respects and values the uniqueness of the individual and seeks to maintain or if required, restore their individuality. This is done by creating an environment that promoted the personal worth, uniqueness and social confidence of the individual as well as respect, independence and hope. If person centred values become guidelines in health and social care settings it will help to provide anti-discriminatory
To explain, the client should not be inferior to the counselor; the environment should be two people discussing an issue and ways to make a difference. A therapist should occasionally share similar experiences; therefore, sessions should make clients feel comfortable. To add, the client should feel safe due to the positive atmosphere the therapist brings to the session. The goal is to finally give the client a chance to be heard, regularly people are muted and feel like they are insignificant to society. Similarly, to Person-centered therapy where communication with the client is unconditionally positive. The therapist needs to genuinely care about the client needs for them to fully express themselves successfully. Furthermore, clients should be encouraging to make their own choices which model how to identify and use power responsibly. Hence, this will help the client feel more confident in everyday life when making a meaningful
The assumption is however, that the client was never able to have their feelings heard by the people surrounding them. Person Centered Therapy would allow the client to then be able to express their feelings openly. According to Strupp (1971), “psychotherapeutic relationship is in principle indistinguishable from any good human relationship in which a person feels fully accepted, respected, and prized” (p. 39). Thus, there must be a therapeutic alliance between therapist and client. This therapeutic alliance should creative an environment for the client in which the client feels the therapist is judgment-free.
...entation, or several, in which they choose to practice in their professional career. Psychoanalysis and Person-Centered Therapy are just two, out of over four hundred types, of counseling approaches in use today. The constructs and theories are extremely different, however, neither can be considered right nor wrong. They are simply based on different beliefs, assumptions and viewpoints of human development and their behavior. Although, however different and unique, there are still similarities between the two types of therapy approaches. Through case examples, such as the case of D and the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder, the techniques and outcomes of different treatment approaches can be see in real life examples. Past research and writing support brings about contradictions, criticism and treatment outcomes to the theories and those who developed them.
I love having personal relationships with people, and having people trust me with their person information and confiding in me. The important aspect of person-centered therapy is the relationship between the therapist and client. The therapist is very empathic and understanding towards the client, and the way they communicate with a client is very nonjudgmental. This is usually why this type of therapy is very successful because it allows the clients to become very open and trusting towards their therapist.
In the second part of the book Rogers speaks of his ideas of his theory of the person-centered approach to therapy. This is the part of the book that I felt really spoke to me. Person-centered theory is a lot of what I would like to do. I enjoy the ideas and concepts that Rogers presents in his theory. I think that it is extremely important to be able to take into consideration not only the diagnosis of the patient/client with whom you are working, but that it is more important to be able to take the time to sit back and to listen to them. I have realized in the year that I have been working in the psychiatric hospital how important it is for the patient/client to just sit back and listen to what it is they're saying to you. This however does not mean I am only hearing their words, but that I am listening at a much deeper level and actually he...
Reflecting on the Person-Centered Therapy, it is similar to the Existential Therapy because it focuses on the client/therapist relationship, where the therapist needs to be totally genuine, empathetic and non-judgmental toward their clients in order to gain the client’s trust. I like the fact that the Person-Centered Therapy views the client as their best authority on their own experience, and being fully capable of fulfilling their own potential for growth. I also like the fact that the therapist is non-directive, does not give advice and there is no specific technique involved. Person Centered Therapy can basically develop their own technique as their relationship develop with the client.
