(4) Interests of the Counsellor: Here, we would probably speak of 'not so strong own interests'. Maybe there is an institution with its expectations, mission statements, funding ideas, etc. – and yet no self-employed counsellor can have an interest in losing clients 'too quickly'.

Moreover, there are 'own convictions' of the Counsellor with regard to counselling per se: e. g. that a robust solution orientation is helpful or rather deep processing, that an intense confrontation e. g. in the sense of the provocative style is helpful or rather an empathic-appreciative listening is essential, that 'it is better not to separate' or 'that one does not stick to difficult couple relationships'. As in school, there are 'hidden curricula' in counselling.

If this visualiation invites professional (self-)reflection, it has already fulfilled its purpose, knowing that it is an inadmissible reduction of complexity (Rohr, 2017b).
