Abstract

This paper presents GEMCo, a releasable, human-written proxy for inaccessible counselling data: 86 complete German e-mail counselling conversations (728 messages), expertauthored cases and counsellor sessions with trained role-players. 1 It is validated against a held-out reference of 124 real counselling conversations. The proxy and the real conversations are measured against each other on counsellor strategies and client emotions. The gap is detectable but small. A generative validation supports the analysis. The corpus is the primary contribution. The validation method generalises to any domain where real data cannot be shared but a human-made proxy can. Privacy and ethics keep real counselling data closed. GEMCo carries none by design and can be released, a first step toward language research in this domain. proxy, real, cross-domain Spans semantic blocks OnCoCo acts (counsellor, 38 cat.) GoEmotions (client, 28 cat.) Top-level acts 9 cat. Ekman emotion 7 cat.
