I'd feel at least as uncomfortable with counsel in that context. The only definition of counsel that I see that applies to a person or persons is that of a lawyer who gives legal advice or acts in a court case. I'd go with the "council of one" interpretation.
Must notta looked very hard! This is from the very first dictionary cited in onelook.com:

Counsel does not refer exclusively to attorneys.
