Many clients, who have never heard of counselling before, think that the counsellor will solve their problems. The person-centred approach enables the client to be more self-aware and independent by exploring their issues, feelings, beliefs, behaviour, and views of the world, with the assistance of the counsellor. Working through personal issues and realising their abilities will boost confidence and realisation that there are always options. Since nobody else can truly understand what it's like to be you, the client is regarded as the authority on themselves. Whatever you bring to the session, you are not criticised. This facilitates the development of a relationship based on trust, where the client can open up about anything bothering them and feel supported in doing so. The client will learn about their strengths and independence, enabling them to handle both present and future challenges.
