Transference and Counter-transference
Barriers to the client/Counsellor alliance can emerge at any time and this is a healthy and natural consequence of any kind of therapy. These barriers are opportunities that present proverbial forks in the road, needing examination, analysis and decision-making to choose a direction. Transference and Counter-transference are such common barriers.
Centering the Client through Transparency
It takes time and effort to feel comfortable to do this work with someone you don’t know. The relationship we establish as Client and Counsellor is called the Therapeutic Alliance and builds over time. With every session we spend together, our familiarity, trust, rapport and comfort strengthens and grows, allowing you to explore more personal and sometimes uncomfortable or difficult topics.
