1CLIENT CENTRED COUNSELLING
Introduction
Client Centred Counselling is a process in which the individual; gets help from the
counsellor on a variety of issues (Pinsof, 2013). In this type of counselling, the individual
presents his/her problems to the counsellor who then tries to analyse the problems and offer
various solutions to the patient. Therefore, it is considered to be one of the best methods of
counselling.
Body
Client Centred Counselling can help individuals in the sense that the counsellor will
be present to listen to the problems of each of the couple separately. This will remain full
confidential with the counsellor himself/herself (Hoyt, 2013). Once the counsellor has heard
each of their problems, he/she will provide the best possible solutions available to the couples
themselves. It is the advice provided by the counsellor which will help the couples in solving
the problems they face in their relationship (Greenman et. all, 2013).
Conclusion
Thus, from the above paragraphs, it can be concluded that the client centred
counselling indeed plays an important role in the solving of the relationship problems of the
clients who face such problems in their lives.
