What is the recommended approach when personal beliefs conflict with a client's goals?
Correct Answer:
Seek supervision and adhere to ethics.
Explanation:
When a counselor’s personal beliefs clash with what a client wants to achieve, the right move is to seek supervision and follow professional ethics. This keeps care client-centered, prevents the counselor from imposing beliefs, and uses supervision to work through the conflict, clarify boundaries, and determine appropriate steps within the ethics code. Sharing all personal beliefs would risk biasing the session, and ignoring ethics or ending the relationship without proper process would undermine client welfare and professional standards. By consulting a supervisor and adhering to ethics, the counselor supports the client's goals while maintaining professional integrity.
