CAn you ask for a different psychologist? Is this one of the NHS rights?

So essentially my psychologist who was useless but let not us digress cancelled my appointments which were oringinally over Zoom in the UKbut then over Zoom because I was out of Liverpool for 10 weeks travelling in Europe.

She told me in email that I was out of their area so my appointments would be stopping about 3 or 4 weeks into my European journey. She was fake as **** and I didn't like her anyway. She sent me this email:

'I hope you’re well and have had a lovely time on your holidays. Just following up to see if you know when you will be returning to England so that we can plan in a bit of a review? Please let me know when might be good to book this in
Now she has sent me an email: '

She cancelled my appoinments so how does she wish I was well? Lol. Fake ****. Can I cancel this psychologist and get a new one? Under NHS rights, or constitution or similar technical terms?

Thank you.

    You would need to check legislation to see if the NHS is still responsible for patients when they are not in this country. 
    It may be also worth asking your GP if they could refer you to a different psychologist if you are not happy with your present one.
