We used to have a therapist rating feature on here, but I can't find it now. Maybe it is gone. But there is a place under "ratings" to rate psychotherapies. You can certainly name the approach used, as that is relevant information if you want to talk about what helped and what didn't. I'd suggest (and this is just me) using initials or a pseudonym to talk about the therapists on the forums. If you want to exchange actual names, maybe PM would be better. Confidentiality does belong to the client, but it seems respectful to think of the confidentiality of people we know IRL, including therapists, also, especially if you have informal complaints to talk about.
Therapy can be really confusing, and therapists make mistakes, and it is frustrating when they won't admit it. Sometimes the therapist's own issues does get in the way, and that is unfortunate. My therapist will admit generally that she makes mistakes, but if I think I have caught one, she always says that's not one. She has said that I want her to screw up, because then it would make it okay for me to screw up too, but she won't.
