Maybe! I've met career change counselling students who are very sheltered and ignorant and judgmental. And they were in their 20s to 30+ years old.

I connected alright with my LGBTQ counsellor and he's older than what I'd prefer (like 40? I'm approaching 30, T is 30).

And yet he's really in touch with current affairs, works with LGBTQ people from a wide age range including teens and senior folks, very much a social worker connecting with me on systemic issues of society...and he knew the latest lingo haha!

Probably helps that he's gay and that I was seeing him about specific LGBTQ stuff.

With current T, we connect when I'm present in the room, rather than when I'm in my head.
