If the counseling position you are applying to is a leadership position, then the obvious answer is yes, followed by several convincing reasons why this is so. Tell the interviewer about a time where you were a successful leader and what the outcome was.

"I'm regularly requested by my supervisor to be the lead on many new client intakes. My most recent lead role I had was forming an Alcohol and Drug support group for our community. It has been going strong now for six months. I consider myself as someone with leadership capabilities and characteristics. I've learned a lot from my predecessors and supervisors along the way."
