Discuss at length what makes a competent counselor
Solution
Spiritual Maturity – Spiritual mature counselors evidence a public and private awareness towards
holiness and humility. They no longer quibble about insignificant differences among believers.
They must know the difference between dogma and doctrine and opinion.
Self-awareness – One might not be particularly insightful about oneself. A competent counselor
understands his strengths as well as his weaknesses and is neither defensive nor offensive about
certain facts and critique about him.
Ability to build and maintain trusting relationship – The competent counselor should be able to
build trusting relationship and maintain them by being interested in individuals more than the
outcomes, get into other person’s shoes and understand his situation, understands cross cultural
lines and is able to empower others more than tell others what to do.
Flexible response styles – The competent counselor understands the need to use a variety of
conversational responses depending on the needs of the client. Sometimes he asks questions.
Other times he is silent. Competent counselor responses include reflections, summaries,
focusing, confronting, joining, problem-solving, and sometimes self-disclosing. Counselors who
only use one or two of these styles may not be able to work well with clients who find those
particular styles problematic. The competent counselor is intentional in her or his response
choices.
Observation skills – The competent counselor not only understands people, their needs,
solutions, and has the capacity to use multiple response styles, but also is observant regarding
their own impact on the counselee. They observe subtle reactions from clients and seek to
moderate their counseling style and/or gently explore the meaning of the reaction. Without these
skills, the counselor blithely works toward a goal without knowing if the counselee is really
following.
Ability to care for self – Finally, the competent counselor recognizes personal limits, boundaries
and actively seeks to sustain a life of personal care. Far too many counselors bypass care for
one’s own spiritual well-being under the guise of sacrificial giving. Just because one is
spiritually mature one day does not mean such maturity is permanent. Neglecting spiritual
renewal will diminish other counselor competencies over time.
