I'm a client whose first clinical psych has to refer out because she was "overwhelmed" and felt "incompetent" about too, though I wanted dearly to stay with her. Like the psychologist in the case study, she primarily worked with clients whose difficulties could be helped with CBT and it became clear that she was beyond her competence level regarding me.

Fortunately I had a relatively good experience with choices to stay with her or her colleague after ex T returned from maternity leave.

I don't like the tone of the article - it doesn't mention anything about the client getting choices or having discussions.

I do however think a T could do harm treating someone clearly beyond their competency. A little beyond could work, but not significantly beyond
