What are some of the characteristics of a good counselor?

Good counselors are almost universally kind, compassionate, non-judgmental, and flexible. They have the ability to listen attentively and offer advice only when solicited (and even then only on the specific subject for which the client has requested assistance). Good counselors also know the relevant research literature so that they may deliver the most effective therapy techniques identified for certain disorders.
