"My therapist was a caring and considerate person"

I was first referred to inclusion matters towards the end of 2015. My initial assessment was in Feb 2016 with my first therapy appointment in July 2016. However, after 2 (1 ½ in fact) appointments my therapist decided to end this intervention as she said I needed an intervention for health Anxiety at step 3, and I would be offered an appointment ‘as soon as possible’.

This appointment eventually came through in April 2017 and I found the wait for this appointment (9 months) unacceptable. Phone calls by myself and my doctor to Inclusion Matters seemed to have no effect. It appears to me that I should have been assessed for step 3 after the initial telephone assessment. Having recommenced therapy in April 2017 I attended 10 sessions. My therapist was a caring and considerate person and I have nothing but praise for the way he managed our sessions. He encouraged me at a very difficult time in a pleasant and professional manner.
