"The only type of person I have a hard time working with are those that don't want to be helped. Once the client realizes that they need the help and that I want to help them they will put up a wall. Patience is one of my strengths so I am happy to wait until they are ready to move forward."

Don't get hung up on the wording of this question. Instead of fixating on the word difficult, answer this question with what type of client you find as challenging. Describing difficult clients may turn your answer ugly and negative. Instead, answer with a recent client that was challenging and explain how you overcame the difficult situation.

I believe you may have intended this response for another question; perhaps #17? I have created a suggested response to #18 in the "Revised Answer" section.

I am comfortable working with clients from all walks of life, including folks who are coping with physical disabilities, mental illness, and substance abuse issues. I have experience working with these populations, and I really try to meet each of my clients where they are as an individual.
