Some therapeutic relationships are easier to work in than others.
Clients may seem 'resistant', unmotivated, or motivated to go in directions contrary to the needs of a particular therapeutic approach. Therapy time may be spend putting out fires, rather than working on core issues. Therapists too may find that particular clients or client problems are personally hard for them to handle.
