Thanks. Yes, I know it´s perfectly legal for her to take a day off here and there and as you said, she´s entitled to at least 25 days, at her age it´s even more. But that´s not my point here, I´m regarding how suitable it is when having such an occupation as she has, within health care.
When talking about counseling and therapy in general it´s often said that it´s important with continuity and to be able to trust a counselor to be there on the scheduled time. If a therapist or a counselor often takes days off, the continuity and the trust weakens.
When I mentioned her having Saturdays and Sundays off, my thought was that often you then plan to have a birthday party on the weekend, not during the weekdays. Of course you could but I assume most of their relatives aren´t unemployed and they wont be able to come to a party on a weekday.
It´s so easy for her to just take days off but for her patients it might not be that easy and I think she doesn´t show that much understanding.

Of course it’s preferable if she schedules them ahead of time, like a month in advance, not a week. That could be frustrating. So I understand that short notice is irritating.
But other than that she likely has vacation days she can use here and there, not necessarily going away on vacation. That’s likely what she uses those days for: birthdays or hobbies etc It’s not against the law. When someone dies, those are likely separately allowed days for bereavement. When she is sick, those would be sick days. Often separate from vacation days
Her having Saturday and Sunday off doesn’t mean she has no vacation/personal days in her contract. She very likely has those days like everyone else. In many work places if you don’t use these days, you lose them. So it’s often encouraged to take those days for whatever private reasons.
