The Essence of Effective Counseling: Understanding and Empathy

The Rationale of the Counsellor’s Role
Rogers, 1951
“In a therapeutic relationship where the
therapist endeavors to keep himself out, as a
separate person, and where his whole endeavor
is to understand the other so completely that he
becomes 
almost
 an alter ego of the client…”
“To perceive as sensitively and accurately as
possible all of the perceptual field as it is being
experienced by the client…To indicate to the
client the extent to which he is seeing through
the client’s eyes…
To lay aside all perceptions the the external
frame of reference, while doing so, and to
communicate something of this empathic
understanding to the client”
It may be more accurately said that the counsellor
who is effective in client-centered therapy holds a
coherent and developing 
set of attitudes deeply
imbedded in her personal organization, a system of
attitudes which is implemented by techniques and
methods consistent with it
Lastly,
Motivational interviewing is “way of being” with
people and 
not
 something we do to people..

The role of a counselor in therapy involves deep understanding and empathy towards the client's experiences, aiming to become a reflection of their thoughts and emotions. Effective client-centered therapy requires a counselor with a well-integrated set of attitudes and techniques consistent with their approach. Motivational interviewing is emphasized as a way of being with individuals, rather than something done to them.
