Tooooo many modifiers kitsch, it really clogs up the reading, I'd take a few out. Apart from that it's pretty good. Added an l in red too for your typo.
Counseling is an american spelling and counselling is a british spelling. kitch is an american and correctly used his spelling
It could've been phrased differently. This comes across as a (really) short story and because of that, the first sentence is very bloated, almost gluttonous. Where a comma is, could be a semi-colon, or even a period for the second paragraph. Given your predisposition for free form, short stories aren't really your strong point. Adjectives are a nice spice, but too much ruins the poignancy.
Not that the story is bad, it's just the way it is written. Writing that appears to be a short story should be formatted thusly, instead of free form poetry.
