She said;
I feel as though I have taken you as far as I can on your counselling journey- good luck for the future.
From this I get that she couldn't help me anymore, I suffered all of this time and she didn't even refer me or suggest somebody else knowing that I needed help but she couldn't help me! I am so mad over it because she made me feel like I wasn't doing the work, telling me I was not doing enough in her eyes and then she says that arghhh. I am confused all over again and angry.
No one is "unhelpable", but not everyone can help us. Your T certainly had the right to terminate with you if she felt she could not help you, but she owed you an explanation as well as referrals to someone else. She acted very unprofessionally in all this and I would say that you are better off without her. Just look for someone else. Instead of moaning and groaning over what you have lost, get out there and start interviewing new T's. You'll find someone you can work with, though it may not be easy. Good luck to you.
