Attempting to persuade the client to change can increase client resistance as it makes them feel like the counsellor is trying to control them or their actions. It is important for the counsellor to explore the client's own motivation and reasons for change instead of imposing their own beliefs or agenda. The other options such as immediacy, self-disclosure, contracting, and core conditions are not necessarily counterproductive and can be helpful in certain situations.
