Can I talk to a counselor before formal counseling?

Sorry, I don't understand what you are talking about here. If so, it is very good for you to talk to the consultant as a visitor. On the one hand, you can increase your consulting knowledge, and you can also learn how other consultants have made progress during the consulting process. It is actually possible if you just consult a psychological counselor. If you haven't taken the internship course after the exam, I suggest you take the internship course, so that you can have more time to talk with the psychological counselor. I hope this information can help you.
