Hi Spirit.
Don't have much knowledge exactly of the different types of therapy, or the ins and outs of them, I'm sure others here have more idea. I have been doing psychodynamic based (I think!)  therapy in a group situation for over two years. I'm from the UK to, and didn't have to wait long when I was finally given it on the NHS. Cost isn't really an issue, since its on the NHS, but I guess the fact I didn't have to wait long, was a rarity though (only waitied a few months) That said, I was in and out the system, and given useless treatment for years before. :S.

Good luck.


--- Quote from: Spirit ---Good news everyone,

I after about two months wait finally managed to meet the Councillor at NHS  :)

I was so relieved and talked too much off my head perhaps and as predicted didn't open up yet managed to tell most of what I wanted to say. Hehe, I know the Councillor would be used to that though.

Couple of issues that came out of the screening session..

Firstly, she suggested that the schedules are heavily booked and she would put me on to a coleague ( male  and NHS ) for a second review, and asked me if I could set aside some money for therapy. She told that there were schemes etc by which the cost would be minimal. Is this normal ? Is this standars NHS procedure or does this mean she is trying to find if i can afford a private therapist ? I flatly refused the idea of seeing a private therapist because frankly I cant afford it because I am looking at the long run ( which she herself gladly agreed is the best option for me )

Secondly,
She was thinking in terms of exploratory psychodynamic therapy. Anyway she also wanted to get the independant opinion of the second councillor whom I am going to meet in a while because she wanted to make ceratin that I get the right sort of councelling. Can anyone who is familiar with the therapy methodologies let me know or guide me to more information about the therapy types and why they are suggested ?


Thanks in advance
Spirit  :)
