Non-judgemental acceptance, 3. Affirming and validating, 4. Genuineness, 5. Focus, 6. Promoting Hope and Optimism, 7. Solution Focused and strengths-based, 8. Advice and Guidance. Graham and Matt added an additional characteristic, namely a good therapist be grounded in the evidence in their field.
