As I have learned since I started the masters is that an effective therapist must always be present, responsive, creative, empathetic, acceptance, flexible and many more. One characteristic for me important is having sense of humor, is one of the ways a client and feel comfortable and not feel that therapy will be all strict. All these characteristics help the therapist from a good alliance with the client. Where the client can feel safe to express their problems to the counselor. We all have different worldviews and it is important to respect everyone’s beliefs and opinions. As counselors are duty is to help the client resolve their problems and not to change their personal values or beliefs. As a counselor, it might be difficult at first
