I have been suffering from depression and my psychiatrist offered me a referral that he held in very high esteem stating the psychologist is very warm and all her patients really loved her.
I contacted the therapist for a session and I got a slot after 2 months, however, I felt a little better during those 2 months I could cope better and that led me to cancel in advance giving her notice which she said no problem. After 4 months I contacted the same therapist stating that I couldn't cope with depression and needed a session. I never heard from her. I received an email from her after 6 months (New years) stating that she wanted to open a new page and let's patch up for the new year and she was happy to offer me a session. I was very confused since I didn't know what she meant by patch up since nothing happened and she didn't reply for 6 months.
Anyway, after the first session we had scheduled another session. I show up on skype for the 2nd session, I was late for 7 minutes since I had trouble starting skype. However, when I logged in at 12:07 for 12:00 pm session she wouldn't take my skype call. When I tried calling her when she was online she rejected my call. I wrote to her that I apologise and I had trouble starting skype on my pc, there was no response. I emailed her at the same time there was no response despite her being online on skype. I try giving another ring which she happily rejected as well. I am usually on time and I didn't know what happened?! Given the history of unprofessionalism from her I was quite shocked since I haven't heard from her since and its been 2 weeks so far, I had never received an appointment for 3rd session. This has brought up a lot of abandonment and rejection and trust issues for me as I have no idea what had happened and why I was receiving silent treatment from this 'professional'. I feel I deserve an explanation from her side!
