Hello Winmie. Most counsellors in school are there to help students pick the right courses and plan for their career. Some are more therapists by training and are there to help students struggling with their educational experience. Suicide and depression rates are very high in university and students struggle away from home for the first time. In High School the counsellors also deal with family problems and help with students who are not able to handle the curriculum due to a learning problem or poor study skills. These counsellors are very important and we may need more of them.
