The Essence of Effective Counseling: Understanding and Empathy
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.

The Rationale of the Counsellors 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 almostan 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 notsomething we do to people..
