This document discusses different types of clients that counselors may encounter and how to understand and work with them. It describes clients as people with feelings, values, and dignity who should be treated with personal involvement and respect. Some clients may be reluctant or resistant to counseling due to anxiety, lack of understanding of the problem, or fear of stigma. Reluctant clients may feel coerced into counseling while resistant clients are willing but anxious. Expressions of reluctance can include silence, superficiality, arguing or refusal to cooperate. The counselor's role is to properly understand the client's perspective and feelings in order to help them.
