A directory of client-centered therapists
Therapy shaped around you.
Every therapist here lists client-centered therapy among their approaches: a way of working where they listen closely, follow what matters to you and let you set the pace. Compare them by background, focus areas and where they practise.
What client-centered therapy means
Client-centered therapy, also known as person-centred therapy, grew out of the work of the psychologist Carl Rogers. The idea is simple: you are the expert on your own life. Rather than steering you towards a set plan, the therapist listens closely and follows what matters to you.
-
Empathy
The therapist works to understand your experience the way you see it, and checks that they have understood.
-
Acceptance
Often called unconditional positive regard: you are met with warmth and without judgement, whatever you bring.
-
Genuineness
The therapist aims to be open and real with you, rather than hiding behind a professional role.
Many therapists combine this way of working with other approaches. Each profile lists the approaches that person uses, so you can see how they might work with you.
Bring whatever is on your mind

Inside yourself

With other people
Partners, family, friends and the patterns that keep repeating.
Through change
Loss, endings, new chapters and the things that shook you.
