View Full Version : what makes a good counsellor
Hi can some one tell me what make a good counsellor as i am looking for one and not sure who to go with.
I have a friend who is a counsellor, she is very good. I only went with her as I knew her and i knew that she was good. I think personal recommendation is one way of finding a good counsellor. i saw someone last year who was not very good, and when our time was up just expected me to go even when they had opened up some difficult things and i was in a state. So i would definitely go by personal recommendation.
Take care

I think an important factor is chemistry.
So even if you receive a recommendation, I would only book one session until you feel happy that the person is right for you.

hi sue
ask about for recommendations - but the important thing for counselling to be of benefit to you is to be able to feel you have a good working relationship with that person. Try booking one session like Ray says and you will know if you click - it is vital you feel comfortable with them so you can open up and get the best out of the sessions.
