Support individuals in reducing substance use 4.4 - describe how to manage your own feelings about the individual's progress or lack of this in such a way as to minimise their impact on the support provided. Different conditions may require varying approaches to support self-management.

The client must feel that the therapist understands him or her.
For this reason, I believe it is essential to respect and allow clients the right to choose and make their own decisions. In my view, being empathic is a key component to building rapport with the client. It is of great importance to be able to really understand and feel what the client is experiencing from his/her subjective world. This kind of understanding ensures that the client is being understood and his/her experience is acknowledged, and the counsellor is staying within the client’s internal frame of reference.
