The expression - mediated counseling discourse - draws the attention to such way of helping (supporting, guiding, counseling) which becomes an 'impersonal' experience drawn from media sources. The expression therapeutic discourse is purposefully replaced with counseling discourse since it is the latter that has become an essential element of the therapeutic culture. Therefore, the mediated counseling discourse involves communication (conversations, meetings) between counselor and counselee via different means of mass media, at the same time promoting the idea of helping. The aim of the paper is an attempt to look at the situation of an adult immersed in the mediated counseling discourse. The authoress asks a question: is it possible that in the times of media expansion and the development of the mediated counseling discourse one can say about a free choice of the participants, or is it rather a dead-end situation in which a modern man is 'destined to be counseled'? The authoress has analyzed the issue of the so-called 'accidental' counseling presented in media along with the possibility (or lack of it) of conscious participation in it. She also draws attention to the role of a chance and spontaneity in using this sort of offers. On the basis of theoretical analyses (by A.Giddens, Z.Bauman, M.Jacyno among others), supplemented by written and oral questionnaires (on the topic of the counseling discourse) answered by students of pedagogy at the Witelon Higher Vocational State School in Legnica, the authoress comes to the conclusion that mediated counseling discourse is not always a matter of personal choice and may occur to a person in many everyday circumstances. Narrations concealed in media broadcasts are refined means of conveying the counseling content. But apart from these hidden messages, one can find and use a wide array of offers related to mediated counseling, which provide very explicit, or even didactic, support.

The paper discusses the subject of indirect counseling, limiting it to the field of television broadcasting. The article takes as a point of departure a survey conducted among pedagogy students. Yet, the survey (written form) did not concern counseling issues. The authoress attempted to determine how young people watch their favorite TV programs, that is: what they are doing in front of the TV, and what they are thinking about. Thus, the aim of this research was not to analyze the media content, but to describe everyday forms of 'being' with media. (The results can be found in another paper by D.Zielinska-Pekał entitled 'Between Bustle and Ritualization', (in:) Esthetics - Art - Media, ed. Maria Jablonska, Wroclaw 2008). This research, in turn, provided inspiration to reflect on TV counselling. The authoress analyses the clients - their attitudes to the media and to the unusual form of counseling. Moreover, two of these attitudes have been described, namely experiencing and watching TV counseling. The former is characterized by commitment, problem identification, readiness to accept help; the viewer adopts the role of a counseling client. Watching, on the other hand, is characterized by little commitment, absence of a problem, readiness to be entertained; the viewer is seen as a spontaneous principant. Moreover, the authoress describes one more attitude (so-called intermediate form). In contrast to watching and experiencing, which were of constant and unchangeable character, this third attitude is fluent, changeable and of continuous nature. Emergence of this intermediate form dramatically changes the role of a client in TV counseling, including the change of his status, role and approach to a TV program.
