If you can afford fifteen pounds a session, it's worth going to MIND for help in your neighbourhood to access affordable therapy. The first session is ten pounds, after that it's fifteen. Apparently this is much cheaper than regular therapy.

If you wait through the NHS it can take a VERY long time. It was a year and a half after my husband died that I finally got grief counselling.

If you pester your GP you might, at the very VERY best, get therapy after six months.

Try MIND first. You'll see a counseller between one and two weeks at the uttermost.
