I just don't feel like anyone really understands what I'm going through.

It sounds like you're carrying a lot right now. Can you tell me more about what that's like?

I got my results back yesterday. I passed, which is good I suppose. But then I sat in my car and just… cried. I don't really know why.
That sounds like it caught you off guard. What was going through your mind as you were sitting there?

+ Reflecting — named her experience without leading her.

I think… everyone expects you to be happy when you pass. And I am, sort of. But then there's this other thing underneath.
That other thing underneath — can you say a bit more about what that feels like?

· Questions — good open question. Watch you don't redirect too quickly.

Questions people ask before they sign up

ChatGPT and Claude will talk to you. CounselMe is built to respond the way a real client does — including the uncomfortable parts. Defensiveness when you push too hard. Silence when you miss something. Trust that drops when you give advice nobody asked for. Those tools are not built to challenge your counselling skills. This one is.

The counsellor your clients deserve — start becoming them today.
