I'm sorry... as I also live in the uk I am not surprised
I have had very few positive experiences with the NHS (see my thread) and can only offer empathy
I was suddenly informed that "therapy" was over some time ago... whether private or not, this appears the "norm" over here
I have found the tendency is to either say they can't help us, and blame us, or to (wrongly) say we are cured.
If they were as all knowing as they claim to be maybe the mental health in this country wouldn't be so bad
