[QUOTE="catherinecherub, post: 720940"] I very much doubt that a counsellor would offer dietary advice or encourage you to take medication. They are not trained in dietary/medical interventions and would be there to offer emotional support in coming to terms with a life long condition. As in all professions there are good, bad and mediocre counsellors and all the certificates available does not always make them the best there is. In my line of work I have seen the aftermath of bad counselling that has left the client in a worse state than before as their intervention has inflamed the situation. It is a difficult task to choose wisely as the NHS does not let you shop around. This explains what a counsellor will do.
