Humanistic Therapy

Humanistic therapy is a mental health approach that emphasises the importance of being your true self in order to lead the most fulfilling life. It’s based on the principle that everyone has their own unique way of looking at the world. This view can impact our choices and actions.

Humanistic therapy also involves a core belief that people are good at heart and capable of making the right choices for themselves. If we don’t hold ourselves in high regard, it is harder to develop our full potential.

Humanistic therapy involves better understanding of one's world view and developing true self-acceptance. This is accomplished partially through the development of unconditional positive regard, both from others and from yourself. When we believe that others only respect us if we act a certain way, it’s easy to fall into the trap of constantly feeling inadequate. This feeling of worthlessness, in turn, can negatively impact how we view ourselves and the world around us.

Humanistic therapy can help develop both self-acceptance and overcome criticism or disapproval from others by offering a safe space to work towards personal growth. It works from the idea that individuals are the expert of their own difficulties, knowing what to talk about in order to work through these  difficulties through therapy and counselling services.
