What Is Meant by Non-Directive Counseling?

Non-directive counseling was first introduced by Carl Rogers, and tries to approach counseling in the same manner as client-centered counseling does. Some therapists and counselors disagree with client-centered counseling as they feel many people entering counseling would benefit more from an exact direction offered to them by a qualified professional. In non-directive counseling, the client is only guided in their own existing decision-making skills.
