The Client-Centered Approach

The Client-Centered Approach is a counseling method that focuses on creating a safe, supportive environment where the client feels heard and understood. The counselor emphasizes active listening, empathy, and unconditional positive regard, allowing clients to explore their feelings and experiences at their own pace. This approach empowers individuals to discover their own solutions and personal growth, fostering trust and self-awareness. It’s about valuing the client’s perspective, promoting self-acceptance, and encouraging natural development without judgment or directive advice.
