Question

What are your strengths as a potential counselor? These could be attending or communication skills, attitudes or behaviors that will be an asset in the counseling role

Answer 1

My strength as a potential counselor is that I am an empathetic and active listener. And being a counselor, I try my best to not make any judgment, as per my belief system, rather treat the client with unconditional positive regard. As every client is different and I try to listen at my best so that I am completely aware about the clients' issues, and probe with right kind of questions so that the client is comfortable answering them, and it is easy for them to express.

As per my understanding, A counselor with good communication skills is able to make good rapport and in turn is able to deal with the client in a good way.
