''Exploring Carl Rogers’ Philosophy

Carl Rogers, the founder of the person-centred approach to counselling, believed in the innate potential of every individual to grow and thrive. Let’s explore some of the core ideas behind his philosophy:

Self-Actualisation
Rogers believed that everyone has the ability to achieve self-actualisation – the process of realising their full potential. This happens when a person’s "ideal self" aligns with their actual behaviour.

Congruence
Congruence is about harmony between who you are and who you aspire to be. Rogers suggested that greater congruence leads to a positive self-image and self-esteem. In contrast, incongruence can result in self-doubt and a negative self-view.

The Fully Functioning Person
A fully functioning person, according to Rogers, is authentic, self-aware, and in tune with their emotions, desires, and values.

Unconditional Positive Regard
A key principle of Rogers’ approach is offering unconditional positive regard. This means accepting clients as they are, creating a safe space where they feel heard, understood, and free from judgement.

Healthy Self-Concept
Rogers emphasised the importance of developing a healthy self-concept, a lifelong journey that begins in childhood and is deeply influenced by nurturing and supportive relationships.

Authentic Communication
True communication flourishes in a non-threatening environment, where individuals connect over shared concerns and mutual understanding.

Carl Rogers’ philosophy forms the foundation of the person-centred approach, which empowers individuals to embrace their authentic selves and work towards personal growth.''

The Power of Gratitude:
Why It Matters and How to Practice it 🙌

👉 Gratitude is more than just a feeling; it’s a powerful practice that can uplift mental health, strengthen relationships, and improve overall well-being. When we take time to acknowledge and appreciate the good in our lives, we shift focus from what’s lacking to what we have, fostering resilience and positivity.

👉 Benefits of Gratitude

Research shows that practising gratitude can reduce stress, boost empathy, and enhance relationships. It’s also linked to better sleep, improved mood, and higher self-esteem. Focusing on the positives in life can even benefit physical health by supporting immunity and promoting a greater sense of satisfaction.

👉 How to Practice Gratitude

- Keep a Gratitude Journal: Each day, write down three things you’re grateful for. They don’t need to be big—small moments matter!

- Express Appreciation: Let someone know you appreciate them, whether it’s a friend, family member, or even yourself.

- Take Mindful Moments: Pause daily to mentally acknowledge things you’re thankful for in that moment.

Gratitude isn’t just a quick fix; it’s a mindset that, when nurtured regularly, can bring lasting peace and joy. Try adding these practices to your routine and feel the positive shift!

"You have this one life. How do you wanna spend it? Apologizing? Regretting? Questioning? Hating yourself? Dieting? Running after people who don't see you?
Be brave. Believe in yourself. Do what feels good. Take risks. You have this one life. Make yourself proud." - CARA DELEVINONE

"There's so much power in believing that everything will work out."

Counselling, often referred to as therapy, falls under the umbrella of "talking therapies."

Who is a counsellor, and what is therapy?

A counsellor is a trained professional who provides a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Therapy is a collaborative process, designed to help you gain insight into your feelings, work through challenges, and develop strategies to enhance your mental and emotional wellbeing. Whether you're facing specific issues or simply seeking personal growth, therapy is a space dedicated to your self-discovery and healing.

Who is counselling for?

I believe it is for anyone who wishes to improve their life, is open to personal growth, and is ready to move forward. A common misconception is that one must have mental health issues or feel weak to seek counselling or therapy. This is simply not the case.

The truth is, we all experience moments in life where we feel loneliness, worry, anxiety, stress, sadness, depression, or encounter conflicts in our relationships. These feelings can persist far longer than they should if we don't seek support or take time to care for our wellbeing.

Counselling can help if:

-You wish to invite more joy into your life,
-You desire greater peace of mind,
-You are curious about understanding yourself on a deeper level,
-You want to enhance your self-awareness,
-You seek to improve your relationships with others,
-You aim to boost your mental and emotional wellbeing,
-You are setting personal goals and building resilience,
-Or, if you are simply looking to move forward with your life.

These are just a few of the many reasons to consider booking a session with me. If you are interested, feel free to send me an email or a text. The introductory session is free of charge.
