If you could ask one question

[pinkunicorn20]

About counselling and psychotherapy, what would it be?

Disclaimer, this is for research purposes, I will not be answering questions, I'm trying to compile a list.

Thank you if you contribute :)

Do you secretly judge?

How does a therapist/counsellor handle clients who are neurodivergent?

How successful is it?

Thank you for all input so far :)

Do you make an educated decision as to what the proximate cause is pretty early on and then have to go through the motions and process to get the patient to understand and agree this is the problem.

i.e you don;t work it out after weeks but possibly in just a session or two.

Hopeful bump :)

I'd also like to know about the judgement thing. Is it about truly being judgemental, or just being secretly judgemental but keeping yours thoughts to yourself?

*Truly being non-judgemental, I mean.

Thanks again for responses, I said I wouldn't answer questions but I do wonder if the worry of judgement is something that would hold a person back from pursuing counselling or psychotherapy.

I will say that in my experience, and I can only speak for myself, Non-judgemental is exactly that, it is not the role of a counsellor to hold any judgement on a client, this would impede the relationship.
