ABSTRACT
He was due to see his new client, Peter, who had referred himself privately and they had met the previous week for a brief session. Peter had found Michael’s name on the British Association for the Person-Centred Approach (BAPCA) website. He’d reached a point in his life where he wanted change. He knew he wasn’t happy. He’d been doing some searches for counselling and the site had come up on the listing. He rather liked the information about what was being described - something called the person-centred approach. It sounded non threatening. He didn’t want someone endlessly analysing his every word, and he didn’t want someone telling him what to do. He just felt he needed a bit of space to talk to someone, make sense of things, make some changes perhaps.
