Rogers and the Person-Centered Approach

The Rogers Person-Centered Approach is a counseling method focusing on creating a safe, non-judgmental environment where individuals can explore their feelings and thoughts openly. Rogers believed that people have an innate capacity for growth and self-understanding. The therapist simply provides genuine support, empathy, and acceptance, helping clients recognize their own potential and make positive changes. This approach emphasizes the importance of trust, active listening, and respecting each person's unique experience, empowering individuals to find their own solutions and develop a clearer sense of self.
