Feminist

Feminist approach is defined as a gender-fair, egalitarian framework that views a client’s personal struggles within the context of broader societal, political, and cultural systems. Unlike traditional models that may focus solely on internal pathology, feminist counseling emphasizes that "the personal is political," suggesting that many psychological issues are reactions to oppression, marginalization, and unequal power dynamics. The practitioner focuses on empowering the client, leveling the power imbalance between counselor and counselee, and advocating for social justice as an essential component of the healing process.
