Person Centred Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that places the individual at the heart of the therapeutic process. Clarina Counselling & Psychotherapy believes in the transformative power of this approach, as unlike traditional therapies that may focus on diagnosis and treatment plans, Person Centred Therapy emphasises empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness, which helps reestablishes your unique individuality.
Person Centred Therapy can help if you're struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, bereavement, or stress, utilising a compassionate and personalised approach that will help you find healing and growth.

Person Centred Therapy for Anxiety & Depression
Anxiety and depression are among the most common mental health disorders, affecting millions of people worldwide. At Clarina Counselling & Psychotherapy, I understand the debilitating effects that these conditions can have on individuals and their loved ones. We take a Person Centred approach that focuses on creating a non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings freely. By fostering self-awareness and acceptance, I help empower clients to manage their anxiety and depression more effectively.
Person Centred Therapy for Trauma
Trauma can stem from various sources, including childhood experiences, accidents, or interpersonal violence. Regardless of its origins, trauma can have a massive ripple effect on an individual's mental and emotional well-being which is why a Person-Centred approach to trauma therapy recognises the unique needs of each client. Through compassionate listening and validation, I help clients process their traumatic experiences and reclaim a sense of safety and control in their lives.
Person Centred Therapy for Eating Disorders
Eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder can have devastating effects on both physical and psychological health. At Clarina Counselling & Psychotherapy, I provide specialised support for individuals struggling with disordered eating patterns. I adapt a Person-Centred approach which aims to uncover the underlying issues driving the eating disorder, which is typically derived from low self-esteem, perfectionism, or past trauma. By fostering self-compassion and acceptance, I help clients develop healthier relationships with food and their bodies.
Person Centred Therapy for Bereavement
Bereavement is a natural part of life, but the grieving process can be incredibly challenging to navigate. This can include the loss of a loved one, a pet, or a significant life change. Clarina Counselling & Psychotherapy offers compassionate support for individuals experiencing grief, implementing a Person-Centred approach that honours the unique experiences and emotions associated with bereavement. This will provide a safe space for clients to express their feelings and memories openly.
