At the heart of person-centered counselling is the therapeutic relationship with empathy, compassion and unconditional positive regard. I prioritise creating a safe and trusting space where individuals feel valued and heard. I accept them as they are, without judgment, building trust. I listen to understand their experiences, fears, and emotions. If the communication becomes more difficult, I focus on the underlying feelings rather than the accuracy of facts. I focus on listening, observing the person's verbal and non-verbal cues, and validating their emotions without correcting or challenging them.
I validate their emotions and experiences, even if they are not fully aligned with reality. Respecting the client's perception maintains dignity and supports the therapeutic process. For those whose loved ones have dementia, I provide a compassionate and validating space where clients can openly express grief, stress, and frustration.
