Choosing a Counsellor and Your First Session
Counsellor for You
Evidence suggests that the quality of the relationship between the counsellor and client, or ‘therapeutic alliance’, is the single greatest predictor of therapy success. Though the skill and training of the counsellor is an important factor for predicting change, research indicates that the relationship between client and counsellor is even more important than the treatment style and techniques used. Therefore, if you are seeking counselling, it is important to select the right person for you.
That is my long winded way of saying…You have to trust your counsellor and you have to feel heard and respected.
