Joy's approach is called Person Centred Counselling. This therapeutic approach was developed by Carl Rogers, in the 1940s. He pioneered this non-directive approach to counselling, which focuses on the 'here and now' principle, and encourages counselling clients to explore and create positive change for themselves.
Working with clients in a person centred way allows the client to explore their thoughts, feelings and emotions in a confidential environment. It gives him/her the opportunity to express concerns and problems and to achieve clarity of thought.
Person centred counselling is a non-directive method of providing therapeutic support, and enables the client to utilise free-association and free-thinking during disclosure. It is based on the humanistic philosophy that every individual has the ability to create a more positive, and satisfying, way of living. By actively listening and mirroring, during the one-to-one counselling session, the counsellor provides the client with sufficient positive feedback to encourage him/her to further explore their difficulties.
