What is PCT?

  • Person Centred Therapy (PCT) is a form of psychotherapy developed primarily in the 1950s by the psychoanalyst Carl Rogers. At its core, PCT is a talking therapy in which the client will have the opportunity to self-reflect on life scenarios they would not usually think over.

  • The reason why PCT is so effective is that it relies on three core conditions.

  • The first is congruence which advocates transparency of the therapist.

  • Secondly, there must be a state of unconditional positive regard from the therapist toward the client. A therapist offering unconditional positive regard will sit and attentively listen to the problems of a client without unneeded interruption.

  • The final condition that must be present is empathy, and this is essential for a client as it will help them communicate freely.

How can MAPP help?

  • Our therapy centre is welcoming and non-judgemental. PCT relies upon a strong trust bond between the psychologist and client. Without this it’s difficult to obtain the three core conditions that PCT needs in order to be impactful.

  • Our psychologists have a wealth of experience and understand the challenges that clients may face.

  • Once you have made the step to begin therapy, you can begin to develop critical coping mechanisms that will lead you toward a brighter future.

  • Self-awareness, practical management skills, and accountability all come through therapies like PCT.

  • We offer professionally-guided training to help you use these key coping mechanisms throughout your day. One of our major aims at MAPP Psychology is to give you the right tools to build a better life.

What results can you expect?

  • PCT facilitates personal growth, creates sustainable management for anxiety, increases openness, and helps clients better understand their personal experiences.

  • If these are some of the reasons you’re considering therapy, then PCT could be the answer.

  • As with all our types of therapy, we put the client’s needs first and offer them the best advice possible.

  • Here at MAPP Psychology we’re ready to work alongside you to help you deal with your greatest personal difficulties.

At MAPP, therapy starts with you.

Your psychologist takes the time to listen, then builds a plan around your goals and circumstances.

What makes that possible is the depth & range of training and experience our doctors of psychology bring to the table. Our psychologists are trained in a broad span of therapy modalities, from CBT and ACT to compassion-focused therapy, person-centred therapy and everything in between.

We fit the approach to you, not you to the approach, and regular check-ins keep it working as your needs change.

We're committed to giving you the support and tools you need to build towards a happier, healthier life.
