Don't reinvent the wheel by creating a new questionnaire. Consult pscyhological abstracts (PsycInfo) or a similar source on research on predicting therapist effectiveness. You'll find one fairly recent review in Ackerman, S. J., & Hilsenroth, M. J. (2001). A review of therapist characteristics and techniques negatively impacting the therapeutic alliance. Psychotherapy: Theory, Research, Practice, Training, 38, 171-185. Good search term is "therapist characteristics"
