One Question About Counter/Mirror Coat

[Iwillbethebest]

Hey guys, how are you doin'?
I was just wondering about Counter and Mirror Coat
I understand that Counter doubles the damage the attack gave on the user, similarly mirror coat doubles the damage the special attack gave the user.

so here is my question what if i used counter and my foe used a special attack, say for example Psychic, will the damage dealt by Psychic still be doubled or will counter be rendered useless? because the move counter counters physical attacks, can it still counter a special attack?

thanks guys

If the opponent used psychic and you used counter, counter would fail since it only works if hit by a physical move
