Non-directive therapy is a principled approach to working with clients. It acknowledges that the human condition is unique. We are independent but also rely on others at the same time.

A relationship between two people means recognising and respecting each other’s uniqueness. It also involves being open to accepting and being surprised by what they share. As a non-directive therapist, I can connect with you as a companion on life’s journey. I also respect your unique experience of the world.

Non-directive therapy is based on a positive view of human growth and development. This model suggests that people naturally seek more freedom, completeness, and complexity. In a good relational environment, a person’s natural growth can be trusted to happen.

In therapy, I see you as someone with the power to make choices, grow, and respond to your own experiences. I focus my attention on your experiences, and do my best to put aside my own biases and expectations.

This stance frees you to discover your own methods and processes of change. Your therapy goals are your own, not mine. I focus on creating the right environment for you. This helps you focus on reaching your goals instead of just thinking about them. This process of self-discovery lends itself to sustainable and lasting change.

At times, you might feel stuck or lost in your growth journey. But the experience of non-directive therapy helps to uncover and address it.
