I don't think a counselor is going to tell you you are right or wrong or doing a good/crummy job or whatever you want to hear; over time, they help you listen to yourself and work better with yourself. A counselor doesn't have to be personable or click with the client, though it's nice when they are/do, they have to know themselves and be able to impart their particular counseling skills and the client recognizes that in some fashion and becomes able to use the interaction to help themselves.
