Psychologist – Mind reader?

A psychologist or a counselor is not a mind reader, rather an enabler for a better understanding of your actions and decisions. A common misconception is that to talk to a counselor, there is a need to step into a hospital. On the contrary, they can be also be contacted on mobile/online for any help. We understand that in our cultural set up, people fear trusting a third person to discuss about their personal issues and always ponder if their mind would be unknowingly influenced. This is far from the truth.
