Explanation
Genuineness in the context of counseling or therapy refers to the authenticity of the counselor in relation to the therapeutic treatment or interaction that they engage in. Authenticity refers to real and honest replies in the counselor’s role. It does not connect to the work based on any recognized theory, their ability to think objectively. It is also not related to the client's clear responses or the extent of their openness and honesty. An authentic or Genuine counselor being unbiased reveals his or her real self in the therapy sessions. Thus being authentic or genuine also constructs trust and intensifies the therapeutic alliance between the client and the counselor.
