therapist-client relationships
A therapist-client relationship is a professional, trusting partnership where a therapist provides a safe space for clients to explore their feelings, thoughts, and issues. The therapist offers support, guidance, and evidence-based techniques to help clients better understand themselves and work toward personal goals. This relationship is built on confidentiality, respect, and genuine concern, allowing clients to feel comfortable sharing sensitive information. While the therapist facilitates growth and change, the client actively participates in their own process, making this collaborative effort essential for effective therapy.
