Humanistic Counseling

Humanistic Counseling is based on the assumption that what fundamentally makes human relatedness, in counselling as well as other contexts, valuable and helpful, is the quality of relationship and contact offered by one person to another.

Personal integrity, genuineness, responsiveness, availability are all aspects of what we might call 'presence' or the ability to be there for someone in a contactful way. 'Presence' in this context also involves compassion and awareness.
