It's dependent on area (the old postcode lottery) but some CCGs will fund about 20 sessions of psychotherapy esp before ECT is mooted. Can you press for that. It is in the NICE guidelines so even if it's not 'normal' in your area you can ask for exceptional funding. But you have to advocate hard which is obvs difficult when you are I'll. Are there any help groups like MIND in your area that would help you advocate?

I pay £70 per hour for private pyschodynamic therapy.

I got a referral from a friend.

Before that I got long-term pyschodynamic therapy through MIND for about £10 an hour. There maybe other such organisations.

Good luck.
