You are more than a problem to solve
Person-centred therapy begins with the belief that you are the expert on your own experience. The therapist does not take over or position himself as the authority on how you should feel. Instead, he works to create the conditions where you can speak openly, understand yourself and move toward choices that feel true to you.
John brings professional knowledge, but the work remains collaborative. Your feedback, pace and sense of safety matter throughout.
The qualities at the centre of the work
John’s approach is shaped by three core qualities:
- Empathy — trying to understand your experience from your point of view
- Authenticity — a genuine and present therapeutic relationship
- Unconditional positive regard — respecting your worth without judgement
What can be explored
Person-centred therapy can provide support across many experiences rather than being limited to one symptom. John’s practice focuses on anxiety, depression and low mood, grief, trauma, coping, physical impairment, life-changing events and sports performance.
The approach does not mean sessions have no purpose. You and John can clarify what you hope for and review the work while leaving room for unexpected understanding to emerge.
A setting that supports openness
Meet in the private Kilmainhamwood therapy room or online. Both formats offer one-to-one time and cost €60 per session.
