Congruity
A person enters person centred therapy in a state of
incongruence. It is the role of the therapists to reverse this
situation. Rogers (1959) called his therapeutic approach
coachee-centred or person-centred therapy because of the focus
on the person’s subjective view of the world. Rogers regarded
every one as a “potentially competent individual” who could
benefit greatly from his form of therapy. The purpose of Roger’s
humanistic therapy is to increase a person’s feelings of selfworth, reduce the level of incongruence between the ideal and
actual self, and help a person become more of a fully functioning
person.
Coachee-centred therapy operates according to three basic
principles that reflect the attitude of the therapist to the
coachee:
1. The therapist is congruent with the coachee.
2. The therapist provides the coachee with unconditional
positive regard.
3. The therapist shows empathetic understanding to the
coachee.
