As you say it also has much to do with how one thinks one or the other problem could be solved. Both left and right wing has some kind of solution on how to, as an example, handle people on welfare. But how they actually value and look upon those people differ much and itīs here my concerns emerge as I donīt want a T who "in real life" would look negatively upon me.

I donīt think she actually does but I canīt know what she really thinks about my issues and how autenthic she is when she supports the issues I bring to her.

Sometimes one can meet with a therapist who clearly shows itīs her/his way or no way and who tries to theorise around different issues to get the client to change or "understand the point". My T isnīt at all that way, itīs me who wants like a guarantee that my T can genuinely like me and is authentic within her therapy role.
We have that too in the States here-there are two main parties here. One identifies with values that government should not provide welfare or 'intrude'. The other identifies with values that promote social safety nets. Those parties identify with other concepts, too, but this is a key divide.
Thanks for this!
