Hi, I hope your search for a therapist is going well. It can be a difficult process, but it is important to find a therapist who feels right for you. The relationship with your therapist is, on average, more helpful than their training and experience. Person-centred therapy is a relationship. It is not dependent on medical diagnoses, yet can help with all conditions. It is as effective as other leading therapies, but uniquely it puts the client at the centre of the process. There is no 'you should do this'. The questions, and the answers, will come from within during our conversations.

Please note: The person-centred approach is unique. It is phenomenological (the therapist seeks to understand things from the client’s perspective) and it is non-directive (control is centred on the client, not the therapist). It is difficult to learn. While many therapists claim to work in a ‘person-centred’ way, they may not actually be trained for this.

I’m a fully-qualified psychotherapist and counsellor, with degree-level training. Working with clients online and locally, I help them live their lives their way. Much of my work is with depression, anxiety, phobias, OCD, panic, relationships and trauma. I also focus on men’s stuff, adult ADHD, and person-centred coaching for personal development.

As a person-centred / Rogerian / non-directive I therapist I do not use 'treatment' because I respect the client's agency and self-determination. Similarly there is no diagnosis or 'specialities' with this non-medical approach. The person-centred approach facilitates change and growth from within you: it does not seek to direct it from a presumed position of expertness about you and your life.

Why would I want to put you through the same thing as other clients? I'm not a sausage machine:). Our meetings are conversations, not 'treatments', because your difficulties are not a disease. I will not seek to do anything TO you, because you already have what you need to grow past your difficulties. My role is to help you hear your own inner voice, instead of mine telling you what's what.

Groups

West Cornwall Encounter Groups

Hosted by

Tim Harvard-Sweeting

Encounter groups provide an environment where you are supported and encouraged to examine your feelings and actions in relation to yourself and others. The group experience is therefore the result of every member's contributions, and is unique each time. The role of the facilitator is only to assist and support members in their engagement and learning, and, where appropriate, to be a resource for others. Encounter groups will be held on a few weekends each year. They will involve about 6 hours each day, ending in late afternoon (total contact time for the entire weekend will be 12 hours).

Online encounter groups

Hosted by

Tim Harvard-Sweeting

I facilitate online encounter groups, about four times per year. These are a person-centred way to meet each other at a depth not available in our day-to-day interactions. In doing so we challenge ourselves to grow in openness and authenticity. Encounter groups are highly therapeutic and are powerful mechanisms for personal development.
