Is it possible that I was not implying anything but that I just missed the fact that this was taking place in the UK? I am quite an absent minded person, I should admit, and I often miss some relevant information in books and articles because my mind mostly looks for major themes and overlooks details. It's a big shortcoming, I know, because the details may be important, but it is what it is. So, there was no sinister intention on my part to imply that I know how things operate in the UK or that everything should be "American" or to imply whatever you imagined I was implying. I simply missed a piece of information, that's all. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, y'know

Again, I never implied that I know how things work in the UK. What I was saying is that I personally see this type of counseling differently from how it is described by your charities or whoever else offers it. If you call it one name and I call it a different name, that doesn't mean and that doesn't imply that one of us is "right" and the other one is "wrong". All it means is that we see things differently, that's all.
