Person-centred counselling is non-directive and non-judgemental. The approach encourages the client to freely express emotions and feelings, and explore in the here and now what goes on in their life and inner world. The counsellor supports the client in achieving their own potential for growth and problem resolution. The client is perceived by the person-centred counsellor as being the best expert of their own subjective experience. 
​
The person-centred counsellor provides favourable conditions at all times during therapy through empathy, non-judgement and honesty, enabling the client to make sense of what goes on, to come to terms with negative feelings and to find inner resources that bring about change.
