"Mental Health counselling"

I did a self-referral for Let's Talk counselling, as my mood was so low and I didn't know where to turn for help.  After the initial telephone consultation, I was offered face-to-face sessions each week, in my area.  The 1st session was difficult - I cried through all of it.  The counsellor was very calm, pleasant and sympathetic.  Over subsequent sessions, I cried less often and spoke quite a lot about various anxieties I had.

I stopped going because out of 10 sessions, I only actually saw my Counsellor for 5 of them - the other weeks, she was unavailable (school holidays?) and so in the end, I hadn't seen her for 3 weeks.  It was a shame, as we hadn't got to the stage of making a plan of how to deal with my worries and intrusive thoughts.  I'm now going to start CBT elsewhere.
