Robots won't be able to perceive human emotion as well as another human being because they cannot feel.

Also, they won't understand body language, and humans won't be able to share their emotions and intimate thoughts with a machine.

People have already started using ChatGPT for most of their psycologic problems. So, there is no need to go to psycologists most of the time. And if you have a thing like major depression or any other serious problem, you will go to psychiatrist who is a real doctor.

Requires face to face interaction with students and parents. Very hard for a robot to replicate.

Humans can coach, but robots cannot, and will not be able to show genuine compassion. Robots simply don't have the capacity to do so.

I simply don't believe that a robot could ever understand the mind of a human and be flexible enough to adjust its approach to different people.

That being said, I suppose there is the other side of the coin, the person receiving counseling that may be content with receiving fake understanding. Overall, this aspect relies on cultural norms to remain fairly the same.
