This is why I'm even more surprised that this particular type of therapy has been offered; I have no outside support system. Psychologist wouldn't be able to accommodate the degree of contact I would need on an ongoing basis - she only works there 2 days a week and that time is taken up with seeing clients; the other 3 days she trains and lectures.

She has already said that she can't be available in a care coordinator role - whilst I appreciate she has been upfront about this, it doesn't help me. I do have a care coordinator but she isn't available on the day I see the therapist, so it's not even as though I can ring her afterwards.
