"aspergers counselling at six degrees"

About: Six Degrees IAPT

(as a service user),

I had my last session of counselling today, for some reason 6 seems to be the magic number as six sessions of counselling are offered. I am now waiting for further asperger specific counselling, whilst I'm looking forward to having this I am disappointed that there will be a gap between the two. it would have been better to have continuity in a seamless move from one to the other.

I have found the general counselling very useful as it has made me talk about myself in a confidential setting and discuss my issues and to look at the context. It has been very therapeutic.The counsellor was a very good listener, we got on well. I thought the text reminders for appointments was a very good prompt, I am very organised but I do appreciate that people undergoing counselling can be going through a very difficult time, for them the text reminder would be excellent.

The one issue that could be made clearer was that at the beginning I was led to believe the counselling I needed could only be offered on a specific day,  this made it a bit awkward due to work commitments. However, I discovered that  it was offered on a specific day in one location, I could have the counselling on a day that was more suitable if I was prepared to go to another location, which I was.  Once this made clear it was fine.
