A client who gets counselling from a counsellor who has not been properly trained can receive advice that is not helpful. Further, in extreme cases, the advice could be actively harmful, because the counsellor does not have the ability to accurately assess all the variables in individual cases.
I'm not sure there are disadvantages. The counselor needs to know the background of the person they are working with in order to understand where they are coming from.
a counselor says that her client hits because he is hungry with his co-workers. What mistake is the counselor making?
Body language is important to observe as it can let the counselor know if a client is experiencing talking about something. In addition, sometimes it is possible to detect untruths because body language will be in opposition to what the person is saying. It has also been established that mirroring body language can establish better rapport and a higher level of comfort between counselor and client.
Counselor/client centered counseling. Non directive counseling is to listen, support and advice without directing a client's course of action.
If counselor refers to a mental health specialist, in other words a clinical psychologist, the answer is no. The relationship must be strictly professional and nothing else. If the counselor and the client have mutual feelings of interest then the counselor must refer the client to another professional counselor.

Counselling is NOT defined as advising a person, this is a common misscnseption.There are too many forms of counselling to go into, but a generic meaning could be:"Counselling is defined as something a person gets when they wish to resolve an issue."The counsellor is NOT allowed to advise a client ON ANY ACCOUNT.

In this question I will give just three based on what I think When your client is not cooperating with you. Then you can refer so you terminate as a counselor When the counselor is not really attending to your problems, situation or concern you terminate and look for another counselor as a client maybe because the counselor is not an expert in the field you brought. When counseling process is been fulfilled and each party has solved their issues.
That would be Prime, starring Meryl Streep as the psychoanalyst and Uma Thurman as her client.
Boundaries can never be breached in counseling - it is unethical and harms the client. As far as confidentiality is concerned, in the US you cannot breach that, unless your client has threatened to harm or kill another person. In that case, you can ONLY warn the person threatened - you cannot call the police or tell anyone else, unless the court orders you to turn over your records. That is one reason why the counselor must keep good records.
