In fact I probably should see one seeing as I'm writing this from the loo cause I'm hiding from what I think is a bee in the house. e_e

I'm shocked - seriously. Sorry, but I'm surprised that you'd have thought it was relegated to the private sector only.

In the NHS, you will always have to see a GP first and they are not legally obligated to let you see a consultant (this is also the case with physical ailments), but if your ask for more help and your problem is serious enough (ie mental illness, chronic depression or suicide risk), they might refer you to your local foundation trust who normally employ a psychiatrist. The downside to this is that there is a waiting list.

Only if they're a severe impairment to your daily life I would have thought. You'd probably have to go private for wasp phobias.

You see if it was on the NHS I would get this sorted.

I better be, I'm awaiting an appointment date which is due anytime soon.

I've had like semi-counselling/self help sessions which is somewhat similar where you talk through certain things but they didn't really help me so this is the next step (and hopefully the last).

Can't really see how they are different to seeing any medical specialist tbh. For cancer, for broken bones, for strains and aches... whats the difference just because they specialise in the mind? None

There isn't.

However, the problem is that like everything in life, there are good ones and bad ones. There are of course a lot of good ones, with people who benefit greatly and help many and do their profession proud.

The bad ones can really make things worse, a lot worse and when they do so, that's a lot harder to sort than a badly set broken bone. Of course, much depends on the type of person being counselled.
