Hi,

I'm wondering if it is proper practice to refer the client to another therapist (especially in the UK)?

When I've left T in the past, even in a visibly poor state, my T has never referred or even offered that. I couldn't imagine her caring who I saw after I left.

I'm my counselling skills training; we leaned that if a counsellor wasn't making progress, or had personal issues, then you would refer. That's it. I know in my relationship with my T, this isn't the case. I've told T that I need to speak to someone who understands fertility issues, but I expect she'd leave that up to me (which is fine)

Has anyone else been referred in private practice?
