Thanks guys

I'm already at the bottom of the sliding scale and couldn't afford to see a new T twice a week.

Alternating weeks might be possible though? If I can find a new T who understands the situation and agrees to it...

I am seeing T tonight (thankfully) and will discuss these possibilities with him.

'Bureaucratic crap' is exactly right. It's not going to be good for me to have to see someone else for the sake of it now. Sort of ruins the whole point of the requirement in the first place doesn't it?

I was trying to hold back tears on the phone to my lecturer, I hope he didn't notice.
