Getting counselling/therapy through your GP is very difficult these days, the waiting lists are huge, you'll be offered meds and/or CBT (both of which can of course be very helpful in the right circumstances). However if you KNOW that there is something specific that you need help to work through (either current or past trauma) then I agree with James; it may very well be worth spending a little on private counselling... even if you can only afford one session a month, it's better than nothing.
