séances de conseil


Explanation:
Session is "séance" -- that's the easy part.

Counselling, on the other hand, can be translated as "conseil" but also "orientation" or even "assistance" though in this case I'd prefer the suggested "conseil".

One would normally qualify what kind of counselling is being given, but presumably it's implied here by the context (drunk driving).

Example sentence(s):
  • Le film inclut des séances de conseil psychologique

  -> Um yes. Conseil isn't *just* advice. Hence conseil pshchologique, which isn't advice but rather counselling.
