Humanistic

At Resting Tree, we believe that every individual is unique with potential, and given the space for healing, exploration and nurturing, that potential can be realised.

There are 3 basic principles we uphold, that are aligned to the practice of Humanism:

  1. All of us have free will and are able to make our own choices in life 

  2. There is worth in every individual and we are inherently good

  3. The basic human motive in life is to find growth and fulfillment, and become the best version of ourselves

There is validity and truth in every person’s experience because as unique humans, we all perceive and interpret things differently. Every client and their story is treated with respect, empathy, non-judgement and unconditional acceptance. The therapist is open and genuine, and works together with the client in collaboration. We are seen as a guide, not an authority figure.

Through the counselling process, we are focussed on helping you become more self-aware: to explore, trust and accept your feelings and experiences and turn them into resources for growth. By enabling you to explore and discover what matters most to you, we hope to empower you with an increased sense of self-direction, confidence and fulfillment.
