Counsellor these days in need of sunshade (7)
I believe the answer is:
advisor
'counsellor' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'these days in need of sunshade' is the wordplay.
'these days' becomes 'ad' (as in Anno Domini, after Christ).
'in need of' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'sunshade' becomes 'visor' (I've seen this before).
'ad'+'visor'='ADVISOR'
(Other definitions for advisor that I've seen before include "Wise counsellor" , "Guide; VI roads (anag.)" , "consultant" , "One giving counsel (O, not E)" , "Mentor, counsel" .)
