Answer 1

Answer:

A. Non Directive Counselling

Non-directive counseling, also known as person-centered, client-centered, or Rogerian therapy, is a type of psychotherapy that helps clients understand their emotions, values, and actions. The goal of non-directive counseling is to help clients grow their personality by gaining a deeper understanding of themselves. 

In non-directive counseling, the client is considered the expert in their life and leads the therapy, while the therapist takes a non-directive role. The therapist's role is to:

• Provide consistent, warm, "unconditional positive regard"

• Reflect the client's concerns

• Act as a facilitator 

The client is given full freedom to talk about their problems and work out a solution. The therapist helps the client analyze and synthesize their problems, diagnose their difficulties, and predict the future development of their problems. 

Carl Rogers pioneered non-directive counseling in the early 1940s
