Person Centred Counselling is a distinctive non-directive approach to therapy which has its origins in the pioneering work of Dr Carl Rogers (pictured left) in the 1930s and 1940s, of which the central truth is that the client knows best.  It is the client who knows what is hurting and in the final analysis it is the client who knows how to move forward.  It is the Counsellor's task to enable the client to make contact with their own inner resources rather than to guide, advise or in some other way influence the direction the client should take. The Counsellor works in a very relational way with empathy and without judgement.
