NO!!! psychics are not counselors!! not at all. Counselors are trained (hopefully) to avoid being an authority and try to have their clients process their issues - without giving them information that the client can't access themselves. In fact counselors will try hard to help you find that information you need to face your issues. Good counselors are really just the best really super good listeners (in theory) - good psychics are more about coming up with other information from somewhere else.
There is a HUGE difference.
Psychics try to tell you a bunch of information, counselors try to listen and help you through realizing your own decisions.
If someone gets a reading and gets no information, you would think you got a bad psychic - but a counselor tries not give you any extra information and tries to guide you into your own thoughts to help you see yourself and know yourself better. A counselor will not give you a future "reading" or "this is what that choice will bring" in most aspects. Sure a counselor would tell you not to smoke crack. But if you ask a counselor about that job you are looking at - the counselor will not come up with unseen world information about that job being a good fit or not.
