At AussieCare, we pride ourselves for using the client-centred approach for all our Therapeutic Supports.
CLIENT-CENTRED APPROACH EXPLAINED
Client-centred therapy, also known as client-centred therapy, is a non-directive form of therapy that was developed by humanist psychologist Carl Rogers during the 1940s and 1950s. Rogers also suggested that people have an actualising tendency, or a desire to fulfil their potential and become the best people that they can be.
By using the term client, Rogers emphasised the importance of the individual in seeking assistance, controlling their destiny, and overcoming their difficulties. This self-direction plays a vital part in client-centred therapy. Rogers believed that the therapist should remain non-directive.
That is to say; the therapist should not direct the client, should not pass judgements on the client’s feelings, and should not offer suggestions or solutions. Instead, the client should be an equal partner in the therapeutic process.
AussieCare therapists strive to create a therapeutic environment that is conducive, non-judgemental, and empathetic. Bearing in mind two of the key elements of client-centred therapy which are:
- Therapists allow clients to lead the discussion and do not try to steer the client in a particular direction.
- The emphasises unconditional positive regard. Therapists show complete acceptance and support for their clients without casting judgement
