counselorship = counselor (transparent) = counsel + or + ship

Standard formation from 'counselor' + '-ship' denoting the office or state of being a counselor.

Etymology

Counselorship comes from counsel meaning 'advice' and the ending -ship meaning 'state or position', the same ending you see in leadership and friendship, so it means the office or term of being a person who gives advice.
