Types of therapy
Humanistic Therapy
Humanistic therapy is an umbrella term for approaches that emphasize each person’s unique potential, strengths, and capacity for personal growth. Developed from humanistic psychology in the mid-20th century, it focuses on the whole person rather than just symptoms, and encourages individuals to find fulfillment and self-actualization.
How This Therapy Works
Humanistic therapy is non-directive and centers on building a genuine, empathetic, and accepting therapeutic relationship. Techniques include congruence (therapist authenticity), empathetic understanding, and reflective listening.
Sessions are collaborative, focusing on your present experiences and feelings, rather than analyzing the past or diagnosing problems. The therapist supports you in exploring your thoughts and emotions, helping you discover your own solutions and path to growth.
Is It Right for Me?
This approach is ideal if you want to explore your feelings, values, and goals in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. Humanistic therapy works well for those seeking greater self-awareness, struggling with low self-esteem, feeling “stuck,” or wanting to make meaningful life changes.
If you value a holistic, client-centered process that honors your individuality, this therapy may be a good fit. You don’t have to decide alone-a therapist can help you explore whether it suits your needs.
