When a clinician refers to an “ideal client,” they describe the characteristics or qualities that would make a patient or individual an excellent fit for their particular expertise or practice. It typically entails factors such as a good match regarding the clinician’s specialisation, therapeutic approach, and the client’s needs, motivations, and goals, ultimately fostering a productive and mutually beneficial therapeutic relationship.
