Person Centred Therapy (PCT)

Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on you—your emotions, experiences, and personal growth. Instead of being told what to do, you’re given a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. The goal is to help you connect with your inner strengths and find your own solutions to life’s challenges.


At Nova Therapy, I create an environment where you feel truly heard, understood, and accepted, which helps build self-awareness, confidence, and emotional healing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

  • 1. Does acceptance & commitment therapy mean I have to accept everything, even if it’s painful?
    No, ACT doesn’t mean approving of pain—it means learning to make space for emotions so they don’t control you. You can still take action to improve your life while accepting what you can’t change.
  • 2. How is acceptance & commitment therapy different from traditional talk therapy?
    ACT focuses less on changing thoughts and more on how you respond to them. Instead of trying to “think positive,” you’ll learn skills to detach from unhelpful thoughts and take meaningful action.
  • 3. Do I have to meditate or practice mindfulness for acceptance & commitment therapy to work?
    While ACT includes mindfulness techniques, it’s not about meditation. It’s about being present in the moment and making choices that align with your values.
