I came upon this site after speaking to someone in the waiting room who had been asked to come here and comment. I found the past comments very informative.
My own experience is much the same as previous commenters.
Despite the Trust's responses, my experience is that treatment is rationed.
It was made very clear to me that I can only be seen 6 times. I also feel that I was left with no support for very long periods of time - 4 or 5 months between appointments is not unusual.
The Archway Centre itself is beautiful - clean and nice to visit but I also find it embarrassing being in the middle of the shopping centre and I hate the delay between ringing the bell and being let in so everyone sees you standing there.
I have always found staff to be pleasant and nice but I do feel they do not listen to what I want, I was told what the treatment would be and that was that. No infomation is available either on different treatments so it is hard to make an informed opinion.
I am nearly at the end of my six appointments and feel no better at all. All in all it has been a complete waste of time going there.
