I found my previous and first T in my university counselling service. I choose the service because there were some free sessions and then for the other ones the prices were really low. I was in pain and really suicidal, so I emailed her straight away. The only thing that I didn't like about the search was that on the university site there wasn't her name, they only said "this is a counselling service!". Then after meeting her I went home and searched his CV. I'm glad she posted it because I think it's important that a T posts his CV or at least some informations about their approach and their qualifications. But to be honest I didn't like her that much. She was gentle and patient, but she was a trainee and didn't have that much experience. I saw her for 1 year with a pause in between only because of the low prices.

Now I plan to start therapy again but I want a male therapist because I feel less anxious around males in general. I already found a therapist. Basically I wanted to search for one that adopts a jungian approach, so I searched for "jungian psychotherapist" and I found him near my university area! I really like his approach (basically jungian and psychodinamic). The prices listed on the site aren't high so that's good too. He's young (under 35) but he has more experience than my previous T and I like what he wrote about his work. When I'll start university in a few weeks I plan to call him.

Good luck!
