Yes, I believe a person could get "addicted" to counseling. He/she could get really used to the nurturing relationship and really enjoying speaking with someone who is supportive.
The best way to treat such person is to direct them to group therapy. In a group setting where s/he can still be treated for the original issue that triggered the counseling and yet s/he found other supportive voices. So that s/he can slowly break out of his/her dependency on the counsel.
Best wishes.

Yes they could. If the counseling is helpful and the person feels safe and becomes attached to the counselor then of course this could become addictive. Honestly I don't know what you could do to treat that? You could try changing the counselor or reducing the sessions.
That was a very good question!

By not allowing them to counsel, any body! Not even a suggestion!

That "counsel" would not be correct.
