According to Carl Rogers, a “Fully Functioning” person is psychologically healthy, open to new experiences and aware of his/her own feelings and those of others. They live in the now, fully immersed in their experience and not restricted by conditions of worth or self-concepts. They are not afraid to make decisions based on their own experiences, and they trust their own feelings of doing what is right and will accept the consequences. They accept that life changes and they welcome the opportunity to use their creativity in adapting to the new changes.
Every day we make choices to do or not do many things. These choices may range from profound to trivial and each one has an effect that makes our lives more fulfilling or less fulfilling, more balanced or less balanced, that make our process of living more effective or less effective. Counselling is a therapeutic relationship between the counsellor and the client facilitates the client to make choices that create an effective, balanced and fulfilling life.
