Counselable

/ˈkaʊnsələbəl/ adjective

Definition

Capable of being counseled or given advice; willing and able to receive guidance or professional counsel.

Etymology

From counsel (from Latin consultare, to discuss or deliberate) plus -able (capable of being), indicating something that can receive counsel.

Kelly Says

A counselable person is therapists' dream—someone who's open to hearing feedback and willing to work on their problems, whereas people who aren't counselable often struggle because they won't accept advice!
