Non-directive Approach

The non-directive approach is a counseling or helping method where the professional avoids giving specific advice or directions. Instead, they create a supportive environment that encourages the individual to explore their feelings, thoughts, and solutions. This approach emphasizes active listening and guiding the person to their own insights and decisions, fostering autonomy and self-awareness. It’s often used in counseling, coaching, or therapy to empower individuals to understand themselves better and find their own paths without feeling pressured or directed.
