Hiya,
I just wanted to say, that I know with my ex partner, he used to tell me that I had problems, and it used to really rile me up. I guess I just wanted to say that maybe you shouldn't push the subject of her 'admitting' that she has a problem, and just let her work it out for herself?
Maybe if she starts seeing this counsellor, and you don't push that it's to 'get better' or because 'she has depression', but just for someone to talk to, like everyone needs sometimes, then she might start to see that is having problems. But I think she needs to come to the conclusion on her own, because otherwise you may end up driving her away with going on about her 'being ill' and stuff.
I'd say you can still support her without her 'admitting' it. Let her be in the drivers seat - the only time I would say you need to take control of the situation is if it becomes serious and she says she is having feelings she wants to kill herself or hurt someone else. Otherwise, I'd say let her decide.
Hope you manage to work things out.
