How long did you give it with the counselling? Do you think it was the particular type of therapy or the therapist him/herself that wasn't helpful? You could go back to your GP/whoever referred you for counselling and ask to see either a different counsellor or try a different type of therapy. You could also look into support groups for depression/self harm to see if that kind of support is helpful for you.
I know it's frustrating having already tried 3 antidepressants, but it could be worth going back to whoever prescribed them and see about trying a different dose or another different antidepressant- I've actually been on six different antidepressants in total and even though the first five didn't work out for various reasons, this last one has really turned thing around for me!
