Hello Courtney, your post was really instructive and well thought out. I would have to agree with you when you talk about how a counselor should not push or pry a client on their personal views. As a counselor you are there to help those through their situation in a different light than how they are looking at it. Counselors are strictly there to help those who are in need due to mental or physical problem that is hindering their daily life. In McMinn book Psychology, Theology, and Spirituality in Christian Counseling, he talks about how a counselor is supposed to make a client feel forgiven, not to leave under the assumption that they are okay. There is a difference in the two, a counselor wants the client to know that what they have done

    I believe both a Christian counselor and a counselor who is Christian have much in common. The very basis for their understanding of the world is the same. However, both are very different in how their worldview shapes their therapy. The difference lies specifically in how their worldviews play out as they approach a client. As I worked through the major differences between these two approaches in therapy I was able to come to a conclusion of which fits best with my goals and personality.…

Each of the six conditions come with their own difficulties as a student counsellor and although we may use empathy and listening skills in our day to day life, until we look more closely, we do not appreciate how we are often in life, and our relationships, not actually listening or being empathetic when…

    While managing to present the client with certain challenges that allow them to see the action that needs to be taken, and what can they do in order to bring about change. It is also very necessary to help the clients pinpoint their own personal strengths, understand what’s hindering them from using available resources, and to have them specifically state what they want they want in life and how they want to live it. Professional boundaries/roles on the therapist behalf is to be explicitly stated before the therapy is in session. Maybe also a little clarification of the rules of therapy and what therapy is exactly since individuals tend to have misconstrued information about therapy in general. Some important characteristics that a good counselor should have is the willingness to listen, to provide encouragement, to be empathetic, to be nonjudgmental, to have patience, and to most of all uphold the promise to keep things confidential unless that client is at risk for harming themselves as well as others.…
