Correct option is A

Carl Rogers' Non-Directive Counseling Model follows a structured sequence where the client is guided through self-exploration to self-actualization, following the correct order: Defining the helping situation -> Exploring the problem -> Developing Insight -> Planning and Decision Making -> Integration.
Information Booster:
· Defining the helping situation (D - Phase 1): The counselor establishes a supportive, non-judgmental environment based on unconditional positive regard, empathy, and genuineness, encouraging the client to express feelings freely.
· Exploring the problem (A - Phase 2): The client is assisted in identifying, expressing, and exploring the problem while the counselor actively listens, reflects emotions, and clarifies feelings without offering direct advice or direction.
· Developing Insight (C - Phase 3): Through self-reflection and non-directive feedback, the client gains new self-awareness, personal clarity, and insight into the nature and root causes of their underlying emotional or behavioral conflict.
· Planning and Decision Making (B - Phase 4): The client formulates their own action plan and decision-making strategies to address the issue, maintaining full personal responsibility and autonomy over their choices.
· Integration (E - Phase 5): The client carries out positive, self-directed actions outside therapy, integrating new insights and coping behaviors into their daily life, leading to greater independence and termination of the helping relationship.
