If she's not really close, it's probably a pretty bad idea to try and interfere. Trust me, when that's happening, the last thing a cutter needs is a therapist or someone they don't trust shoving their face into it. There is about a 0.01 chance that she will die from cutting, since it's harder than you think to hit any kind of nerve and it takes a long time to work up the pain endurance and anger to actually cause serious damage. Around here, my generation is REALLY messed up in the head, so there are a LOT of people walking around in short sleeves with scars up their arms, and all the non-cutters respect the fact that whether they want help is their choice, and frankly, these cutters don't want to be helped. x_x
So... unless you're on best friend level with this girl, I probably wouldn't recommend getting into it--also, I'm pretty sure she won't get a choice whether she wants to refuse counselling or not. It's best to let her find her own way. :( I know, it feels bad, but... eh.
