About amy

At ARC, our approach is inspired by the humanistic psychological principles of Carl Rogers, who originally developed Person-Centred Therapy. In coaching, this approach emphasizes your inherent potential for growth, self-awareness, and self-actualization. I facilitate this process by creating a non-directive, empathetic, and supportive environment where you can explore your own thoughts, emotions, and goals. I offer tools and resources to enhance the coaching sessions and ensure you are able to identify and achieve your goals.

​

Key Principles of Person-Centred Coaching:

​​

1. Unconditional Positive Regard – I offer acceptance and non-judgmental support, ensuring that you feel valued and respected. This helps you to gain confidence and feel safe to explore your true aspirations.

2. Empathy – I actively listen and understand your perspective without imposing my own views. This deep understanding enables you to uncover their own insights and solutions.

3. Congruence (Authenticity) – I am genuine, open, and transparent, creating an atmosphere of trust. Being real encourages you to be honest with yourself.

4. Non-Directive Approach – Unlike traditional coaching methods that may use structured questioning or advice, person-centred coaching allows you to lead the conversation, empowering you to make your own decisions. 

5. Self-Actualization – Like Rogers, I believe that every person has an innate drive toward personal growth. My role is to remove obstacles and help you realise your full potential.
