The two schools of thought which guide our practice
Person/Client-centred counselling
Devised by Carl Rogers, this counselling is based on the idea that a client enters into a relationship with a counsellor where the client is allowed to freely express any emotions and feelings.
Rogers believed that each person is unique and has within them resources for growth, development and change throughout life. In a therapeutic relationship, this process of change is facilitated by the client experiencing psychological contact and the core conditions of empathy, unconditional positive regard and congruence. Experiencing the core conditions encourages a focus on feelings, senses, personal meanings and connections so that the individual’s personal resources for change and development can be actualised. Central to the work is the counsellor’s capacity to be open to their internal world and the way in which it encounters that of their client.
This enables the client to come to terms with the negative feelings that may have caused emotional problems, and develop personal skills. The objective is for the client to become able to see themselves as a person with power and freedom to change.
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy/Counselling
This approach stresses the importance of the unconscious and past experience in shaping current behaviour. The client is encouraged to talk with their counsellor about childhood relationships with parents and other significant people, and the counsellor focuses on the dynamics of the client/counsellor relationship.
At the heart of psychodynamic thinking is the existence of an inner world through which we perceive our outer reality, where the past is alive and dynamically active in the present. It is an inner world populated by significant relationships that are consciously known, unconsciously experienced and frequently defended against.
In counselling and other contexts, current and past relationships are experienced and understood through the prism of transference/counter transference relationships.
Transference: when the client projects their feelings experienced in previous significant relationships onto the counsellor, is a method used in this type of counselling. The psychodynamic approach is derived from psychoanalysis, but usually provides a quicker solution to emotional problems.
