Agreement and Goals,Clients & Counsellor:

Agreement on the goals, how the goal will be achieved, and the emotional bond all contribute to strengthening the alliance between the clinician and the client. In turn, the strength of the alliance between the clinician and the client facilitates agreement on the goals and how best to achieve them. Both the clinician and the client must be genuine, that is, they must be willing to be open, honest, and authentic with each other.
