“But… what does a counsellor DO?”

“What does a counsellor do?”
I love this because it allows me to share my world with others (keeping strictly within the boundaries of confidentiality), and also allowing people to consider incorporating that world into their own lives. Many a times, I’ve looked back and thought “I feel like I could have explained that better” whilst also realising that due to various constraints, it isn’t always possible.
Therefore, I decided to write it down and put it out there for people to read so that people can understand what a counsellor like myself does.
