Thank you. It may be just "a few pounds" for some people, but even at low cost she still charges £50 per session and I simply don't have a spare couple of hundred pounds a month - especially not if it is going to end up making me feel worse.

I have emailed her and explained my concerns (we agreed that I was going to think about whether I wanted to continue and email her to let her know) so I will see what she says.
I have just heard from the centre that she is the only therapist who offers lower rates and has any availability so she is pretty much my only option.

I have had bad experiences with taking therapy in the past. I have no support system, and nobody else I can talk to (apart from my GP) and so I am really reluctant to set myself up to fail again as I know that it will just send me spiralling
