Despite the development of several instruments to assess counselor competence from the supervisor's or counselor's perspective, there is a lack of client's voice in evaluating counselor proficiency. This presentation will present a new scale that was developed to measure clients' perception of counselor trainees' competence. Specifically, we will present an overview of counselor competence measurements, scale development process, results of our study, and implications for counselor education.
