RomanceClass.com AdviceI am sorry you find yourself in this predicament.
This issue is very complicated by the fact that he is your counselor and you his patient. I am not a legal expert nor a professional counselor. So, you should ask your counselor what the legal and professional ramifications would be if you and he were to act on your feelings (for example have an affair).
I believe you will find that he has his hands tied. I don't want to judge your friend too harshly, but I think he should have referred you to someone else once you developed spoken mutual loving feelings.
One thing to be sure of before getting too deep into this is to double verify that he has strong feelings for you. It is possible you are misunderstanding his comments.
I suppose none of this advice is very happy for you. But it is the best advice I have.
Regards,
George
