A counsellor is not:
- a miracle worker/magician/mind reader. A counsellor needs your help to understand the problem that's bothering you.
- a doctor who prescribes medication. This is only done by someone who has a medical degree.
- a dictator. As a client, you need not submit meekly to everything the counsellor asks you to do. Always question and seek clarity if something's bothering you.
- a friend, partner or relative. A counsellor is a professional who is specially trained to help individuals work through emotional/psychological issues. A counsellor will therefore hesitate to interact with you socially outside of the counselling room as this would violate the boundaries of your professional relationship.
