Counter person's resistance, as I for one recalled (6)

I believe the answer is:

geiger

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'counter person's' is the definition.
'Geiger' can be an answer for 'person's' (Geiger is an example). I'm not certain of the 'counter' bit.

'resistance as i for one recalled' is the wordplay.
'resistance' becomes 'r' (electronics abbreviation).
'as' becomes 'eg' (I've seen this in other clues).
'for one' becomes 'eg' (both can mean 'for example').
'recalled' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'r'+'eg'+'i'+'eg'='regieg'
'regieg' backwards is 'GEIGER'.
