Hi all, not sure if anyone is still reading my post but thought I would put an update on here. I am still experiencing irritation in my feet and other areas of my body in response to stress or anxiety. At least I now know in myself where this 'irritation' is coming from. I have been back to my Doctors since and I am currently still on 20mg Citalopram.

Unfortunately the counselling has not been a straightforward. I managed to get an appointment with a councillor within a few weeks of my telephone referral. I went to see the councillor for the first session a couple of weeks ago and I did not get a good feeling from her. She was pleasant enough but I did not gel with her. She was wanting me to basically stop labelling myself with issues such as OCD, anxiety, depression and 'throw them down the toilet'. She did not allow me room to explore the issues with her and ignored the paperwork I had brought with me to help me discuss my problems.

I decided to give her another go on Monday just gone but I felt it was very much a Doctors appt, she did not allow me to go in depth about my issues and ended the session after half an hour when I should have had the full hour. She hadn't a clue whether it was my 2nd or 3rd session. Also, very unprofessionally she had scoring sheets from previous clients on display and I could clearly see their names etc.

So all in all me and my parents are fuming about the service and have complained about it, demanding a new councillor and same amount of sessions (6). Guess you never know what your getting on the NHS!!

Hope you are all well
