CLIENT CENTERED THERAPY – OTTAWA, ON

Our client centered therapy sessions are designed to protect the quality of traditional talk therapy while giving you space to speak without feeling rushed or judged. A therapy session may be helpful for people dealing with:

• Low self esteem
• Relationship stress
• Life transitions
• Difficult emotions
• A need for self discovery

In a client centered approach, the focus stays on your thoughts and feelings, your values, and how you understand your own life. A client centered therapist uses active listening, empathetic understanding, and unconditional positive regard to support positive outcomes through a positive therapeutic relationship.

This non-directive form of therapy respects the client’s ability to reflect and consider own solutions. The therapist’s role is to provide support, listen carefully, and help build self awareness without judgement. In this therapy process, the therapist helps the person explore their own thoughts, own feelings, and the meaning behind their client’s thoughts with more clarity.

Our online sessions preserve the quality of traditional therapy while giving you the flexibility to fit your lifestyle. Virtual therapy sessions are especially valuable for those who need greater convenience, comfort, or accessibility.

Privacy is an important practice in effective therapy. Ottawa Therapy Group provides care with attention to confidentiality, professional boundaries, and the trust needed for a healthy and open relationship between client and therapist.

A good client centered therapist respects the client’s point of view and uses empathic understanding, good communication, and careful listening to help the person feel comfortable sharing difficult emotions. Client centered therapy work depends on a strong therapeutic relationship where therapist and client work as equal partners in the therapeutic process.
