What would you expect from a counsellor?

As you may or may not know, I am studying to be a counsellor. I'm not sure how this will act out at this point in time- maybe school chaplaincy, maybe as part of an organisation, maybe private practice, maybe connected to a church.

I have a question that I would love to hear your answers to. What would you expect from a counsellor? Or, perhaps, what do you see as the role of a counsellor?
