Abstract
ContentThe aim of this paper is to discuss the role of case formulation in counselling psychology practice for those practitioners who espouse a person-centred approach to their clinical practice.FocusThe ability to formulate client presenting issues within a chosen theoretical model is deemed a hallmark of clinical competency by professional bodies. Despite this it is recognised that it is not routinely taught and research in the area regarding its utility is sparse. Limited research in the area highlights that it is useful for both client and therapist in helping understand the client’s difficulties. A model outlining how to embed client material within a person centred theoretical model is outlined.ConclusionsCase formulation can sit comfortably within routine clinical practice so long as counselling psychologists ensure that it is a collaborative endeavour that upholds client choice, autonomy, respects the client as the only author of their story, and refrain from being prescriptive and/or interpretive in their approach.
