Because he came to you - he trusts you. Because he asked to be late - he respects you. He interacts with you and not the counselor would be the reason why he didn't go there first. He just doesn't have the family support that he can trust - he sees that in you.

I would go to the counselor with him for the first meeting, make the introductions, letting him know that you have an interest in helping him and plan on working closely with the counselor.
