It was founded by the American psychologist Carl Rogers and focuses on the therapist&#8217;s empathic and authentic attitude and on the respect he or she shows to the client. For us, this means meeting the client in an non-judgmental and open-minded way. Person-centred counselling and therapy belongs to the group of humanistic therapies.<\/p>\n<p>Besides humanistic psychotherapy as a major &#8220;line&#8221;, there are also psychodynamic and behavioural therapies. Among all three, various specific therapeutic approaches have become established, as its original ideas continue to be developed.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Basically, however, psychodynamic approaches are about the unconscious and childhood (because the origin was good old Sigmund Freud). The therapist adopts the role of the expert here.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">In behavioural therapy approaches, the guiding idea is that any beneficial or harmful behaviour can be learned and therefore unlearned. In other words, here the therapist works primarily with beneficial and non-beneficial thoughts (or cognitions). Again, the therapist is more in the role of expert or teacher.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">In humanistic approaches, including person-centred therapy, the therapist works explicitly on an equal footing with the client. The focus is placed on the client and not on the problem. The aim is that the client, with the help of the therapist, explores their behaviour and finds the capacity for self-fulfilment that is inherent in them so that they can solve their problems on their own.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-yedak-d4f41022763fc028e35a6f716bac60b9'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-11' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-11' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-11' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"How often do we need to meet?\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: How often do we need to meet?\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: How often do we need to meet?\">How often do we need to meet?<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-11' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-11' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Empirical evidence and research shows that for many clients a fairly small number of sessions is enough to deal with an acute problem: on average 6 to 8.
