Counsellors don't ever give advice of the "I'd
leave university if I was you" variety since the purpose of counselling is
to help you make your own decision.
They will never make a moral decision about the course of action you ought
to take.
They may sum up what they understand you have been saying so far in order to
help you move on and form a plan of action.
They can offer pointers to how others have successfully dealt with common
problems and may also make suggestions of the "have you thought of the
following" variety.
These suggestions will be drawn from their training in what is helpful and
their experience of what has helped others and of course can be rejected if
you feel they are unhelpful.
