 Also called as counselor-centered Counseling
 Process of listening to member’s problem,
deciding with the member what should be
done, and then encouraging and motivating
the person to do it.
 This type of counseling is more useful where
the individual wants information and advice for
choice of a career. This approach does not
focus its attention on personality
development

12. 2) NON-DIRECTIVE COUNSELLING:-
 Counseling in which the counselor is
empathetic and does not evaluate or direct
(but may clarify) clients' remarks, thus
assisting them to accept responsibility for
their own problem-solving.

a point of realization, self-help.

and to implement a decision.
