A to Z of Counselling
The therapeutic relationship is characterised by trust, empathy, and understanding.
It allows you to feel seen, heard, and validated in a way you may not have experienced before. By prioritising the therapeutic relationship, therapists can help you build greater self-awareness, develop healthier interpersonal skills, and improve your overall well-being. In essence, the therapeutic relationship is crucial to the success of therapy, as it serves as a powerful catalyst for healing and transformation.
