Client-Centred Approach

Innovachange delivers HR Consulting and Change Management Solutions for individuals, business, social enterprise and humanitarian sectors.

 

Innovachange works with a client-centred approach to enabling change in individuals, organisations and society; cultivating leadership, diversity, innovation, talent and performance.

The Innovachange programmes and models have been designed with an alchemy of elements from project management methodologies combined with HR, coaching and psychology methodologies.

 

A core theme throughout the programmes and Innovachange transformational change model recognises the philosophy and values of the person-centred approach founded by Carl Rogers (1902-1987), the highly influential American Psychologist and a founder of humanistic psychology.   His research and professional work is honored with awards including the American Psychological Association Award for Distinguished Scientific Contributions and Award for Distinguished Professional Contributions to Psychology.

 

Carl Rogers’ person-centred approach to change and understanding personality and human relationships is focused on demonstrating the conditions required for enabling a growth-promoting climate, open communication and the tendancy, creativity and empowerment of people to achieve their highest potential. His approach has been applied in individual and group settings across a diversity of fields including cross-cultural communications, personal growth, education (student-centred education) and counselling and psychotherapy (client-centred counseling).

 

 

 

 

 

 

The client-centred approach provides the conditions for a growth-promoting climate, a relationship that enables people to discover the capacity to use it for growth and change, a relationship that doesn’t position itself from a perspective of “how can I treat or cure, fix or change this person?”, instead from a place of “how can I provide a relationship which this person may use for their own individual growth?”.

The approach recognises that “individuals have within themselves vast resources for self-understanding and for altering their self-concepts, basic attitudes, and self-directed behaviour; these resources can be tapped if a definable climate of facilitative psychological attitudes can be provided”. (Carl R. Rogers, A Way of Being, 1980, p.115)

 

Any Relationship in which growth is the goal

 

The client-centred approach recognises the facilitative ingredients that must be present in order for a climate to be growth-promoting and can be applied to any relationship in which growth is the goal, whether that be of consultant and client, mentor and mentee, coach and coachee, leader and team, business partnership, humanitarian and community, teacher and student, therapist and client.
