private councilling
Hi to all,My doctor has just informed me during a call on the telephone,I have so many issues going on in her opinion she feels it would help me if I spoke to a private councilor ,I am already in process of speaking to a mental health nurse,so this has been a complete shock to me.
I cannot afford to go private,so I feel that is a dead end.And what will a private coucilor do,? diagnose a health issue?,I am already on the waiting list for autism,I am so confused now.In the meantime my medication has been increased.
Pip tribunal later this month also,just feel everything in life is taking its toll on me.
Any advice I would be grateful.Thankyou

A private counselor would do the same as an nhs or ones gp's can recommend free of charge.
They would most likely offer talking therapies, cbt and relaxation techniques.
Your gp probably suggested going private because there are long waiting lists to see non private ones.
I would suggest speaking to the mht and get their advise and if they can recommend a free one for you.

Hi @Charlie5
Have you considered contacting the charity Mind How to find a therapist This page will direct you to your local Mind organisation, that could offer free counselling.

hi @Charlie5I’m not sure what it is you need therapy for, that is private and I would never pry.
I’m currently having trauma based therapy via video link with this company (IESO) and they are truly amazing.
Have a nosey on their website and see if it’s suitable for you and self refer 😊
I hope it’s of some help to you
NHS Taking Therapies - Self Referral
There’s also a link here to see if you can self refer to a talking therapist local to you too.
