Thanks. No, as she isnīt a therapist she doesnīt understand whatīs beneath the surface so to speak. She can handle everyday things and practical matters but nothing deeper than that.
I stick with her because I like her as a person, at least to some extent, and because I need her to get my sick leave. I need to be in some kind of "care" even if that care isnīt helping me.

One of the difficult things here is that your counselor isn't able to talk to you about these type of things, so it doesn't seem like there's a way to work through it? That would leave me feeling stuck.
Are there things she does help with? If you are stuck with her for now, maybe just use her for what she is good at, and be aware of all the things she's terrible at. Know it isn't your fault she is emotionally unavailable. There are loads of counselors/ therapists I have seen that could never have helped me, we were just too different.
