Client-Centered Counseling
Client-centered counseling is a therapeutic approach where the counselor creates a supportive environment that allows clients to explore their feelings and thoughts openly. It emphasizes active listening, empathy, and unconditional positive regard, helping clients gain insight and develop their own solutions. The counselor does not direct or judge but trusts the client’s ability to find their own answers, fostering self-awareness and personal growth. This approach values the client’s perspective and promotes empowerment, making it effective for a wide range of emotional or personal issues.
