So why were you saying that the NHS doesn't exist in the US? What did that have to do with anything, when the person in question (the author of the piece we are discussing) is in the UK?

I don't see person-centered and goal-oriented as separate "modalities". Any therapy is "person-centered" IMO because the person in therapy is at the center or therapy . Short-term therapy tends to get much more focused because of the time constraints, that's what I meant. All these terms like "psychodynamic", "person-centered", "goal-oriented", "CBT" is just a psychobabble that, in and of itself, has no meaning. At the end of the day, therapist operates much more from their own personal biases than from any terminology.

Call it or don't call it whatever you like. What I am telling you is that in the UK many charities offer short-term counselling that is not 'more focused' or remotely goal-oriented. I know because I work for such a charity.
