Non-directive Counseling

Non-directive counseling is a supportive approach where the counselor helps individuals explore their feelings and thoughts without giving advice or steering their decisions. The counselor creates a safe, accepting environment, allowing clients to lead the conversation, reflect on their experiences, and find their own solutions. This method emphasizes trust, active listening, and empathy, empowering clients to gain better understanding of themselves and make choices based on their values and insights. It is often used in settings like therapy, guidance, and support groups to promote self-awareness and personal growth.
