I can only speak for myself here but when my work has involved helping people, it is definitely to me like treading on sacred ground when I enter someone's life. To see the person they are and to witness their struggles and growth (even to see the worst when things are going not so good for them). So in my opinion yes it's work but it is a privilege to have this type of work and the people we grow to care for. I'm sure your therapist feels the same (especially you say she is a pastoral counsellor. Even more so.) And yes, there are breaks but then we come back refreshed and renewed right? That's probably the same for her.
