Can an adoptee become a counsellor?

Hi there
I recently started looking into counselling as a part time course. I had wanted to do psychology in university but didn't choose it when I went to uni first.

I am adopted and recently been diagnosed with a low grade chronic depression (Adandonment issues and feeling down a lot) Many ppl have told me i've too many issues to take on anyone elses. But I like working with ppl and caring for ppl. I think it's more important that i'm an extremely understanding person, because i shouldn't take on their problems anyway.


Has anyone any opinions on this? I'm planning on putting off a counselling evening course for another year and half at least to give me plenty of time to research it and make the right decision.

Thanks for ur comments.
