This is my...4th attempt at counselling.
It took a month for the freferal via my GP to go through and yesterday was the first session.
I'll be honest. I wasn't expecting it to be that great.
But I'm pleased to say, it was actually better than expected. The Counseller (from now on referred to as C) was friendly, and professional. She explained everything to me and really put me at ease. I told her all about my history and she told me what to expect from the counselling services.
She thinks her colleague is better placed to treat me as a)she specialises in CBT, b)she has hourly sessions, c)said sessions are weekly and d)they go on for longer.
It all depends however on what happens on Monday.
because Monday is D-Day. Or should that be P-Day? I'm off to see the Psychiarist from now on referred to as P). The C doesn't think that the P will take me on, as those services are for "more severe" cases. that said the fact I hear voices (though i'd describe it more as hearing thoughts) may in fact make me the ideal candidate.
We will just have to wait and see.
But for now, I'm impressed that the counseeling went well.
