I'm not sure about that one. She might say something evasive. A therapist doesn't want to do harm to a client, so she might hesitate to say "not really" (if it were true) as it might be hurtful, especially if she doesn't think her lack of liking to work with a client would interfere with her ability to help. I think if a therapist has a strong dislike for a client, they should do the client (and thenselves) a favor by referring the client to a therapist they think would be a better fit. Expecially if it seems that therapy with the client will last a while.
