But I am not 'hiring' this therapist directly because it's through the public health system that's free. Should I be given less rights?


I dunno


Regardless of the how and why and where your services are being offered for or paid by who ever you deserve to ask questions.

When I met my T ( 8 years ago) our first meeting was my listing what I’m struggling , I was fresh out of IP.

He had his certificates on the wall and I pointed and asked him where he studied, I couldn’t read what they said where I was sitting. He told me where he studied, he worked for X places, he explained his boundaries as far as contact between sessions , cancellations policy’s, he gave me a run down about his “ style “ of Therapy.

I think those kinds of things should be talked about , you have a right to know there professional degrees.

If she’s someone that’s going to just not help you push to get in with a different T

Be proactive Squeeky wheels do get oil
