Just a word on school counsellors... I don't know whether it's just a couple of isolated events or maybe a lack of training (..?) but I had some issues when I was about a year older than your DD...
Long story but I had "sacked" the singer from my band because she was getting into drugs and becoming a right b**ch, so her and one of her other friends started pushing me around and telling their older friends/boyfriends who had cars to chase me, I'd nearly been run over in the street quite a few times by these people.... So I had those people in my face outside of school, plus the girls at the root of the problem were in all my classes at school and I had to be careful walking down the stairs, watching my back all the time and all of that, it was HORRIBLE stuff...
As you could understand I was scared s**tless, ended up with the school counsellor, I told her everything that was going on....... and who was the first person she spoke to about it? The girl who started the whole mess in the first place.
The worst thing was the girl denied everything and somehow made out that I was bullying HER, (if they'd bothered to ask random people in our school and community they would have known otherwise!!) and I ended up wasting most of Year 10 either in bed, throwing up, or with stress headaches, and trying to get myself out of trouble in the principal's office.
It was the biggest crock, I ended up applying for a selective school in Sydney (for yr11) so I could move out of town and get youth allowance and support myself.
I moved out to the big smoke, and after 2 weeks of school found I couldn't cope with facing people anymore, and basically stayed inside for around 6 months... then I had to get a job to support myself because I spent all of my "higher education money" that was reluctantly passed on to me even though I had not finished school.
OK enough ramble (sorry to hijack!)...
The moral of the story is, if that school counsellor betrayed me and put me in more of a position to be harmed, and your DD's friends counsellor put her in the position to be harmed, then where do these people get their qualifications? The weetbix box?
I very much hope it's just 2 isolated cases.

*sigh*
