Explanation:

Person-centered psychotherapy was developed by an American psychologist, Carl Rogers in the 1940s. It brings a shift from the traditional role of therapist in psychotherapy.

According to it, the therapist should act as a guide rather than an authoritative figure during therapy. He should allow the client to explore themselves and figure out their thought process by creating a non judgmental welcoming environment. A person inherently wants good for their mental health. If a facilitating warm environment is created by the therapist, the client would themselves want to cooperate with the therapist and find solutions to their problems.
