COUNSELORS
Empathetic
Empathy is the ability to understand
and share the feelings of others. You
need to be able to put your self in the
shoes of your client.
Patience
Be patient with the clients as they process
the discussion. It may take them time to
accept certain things and to move towards
positive changes. Some people need to
discuss something many times before they
are prepared
to make move in any
particular direction. Also, you are not likely
to see large changes in a client, for you
must rejoice over small victories.
Good listener
Counselors spend a significant
amount of time listening to their
clients. You will do more listening
than talking, the Counselors must
give the clients time to express their
feelings, desires, and stories.

courage to pursue their
passions and be passionate
about life and their work.

the welfare of the client or

of you, at one extreme, or it may be
uncharacteristic of you, we are hoping
that we will examine ourselves and
develop our own concept of what
attitudes that are essential to strive to
promote our own personal growth.
