The data was analysed based on Afaf Meleis’ theory of transition, Andrew Abbott’s concept of jurisdiction, and the concept of professional uncertainty. The results of the study showed that the school counselors mostly had negative experiences of the transition. It often resulted in a time gap, a lack of safe care, and uncertainty in the process for the students, which had a negative effect on their health. The changes in the student's well-being in addition affected the work situation of the school counsellors. The counselors had different strategies to manage the situation but it became clear that it was difficult for them to set limits against students, the school management, the psychiatrists’ and themselves.
