Hey Sarah,

Thank you for the advice but I am not sure that just taking the soonest appointment I can is necessarily what is best for me. I have to find the right person to do this work with. And I am struggling to find someone.

So far I have contacted 17 counsellors and only 1 had any availability in the next week, two have availability end of August and the rest are eithernot taking on clients or haven't got back to me. And the one that has a session available doesn't work in a way that would work for me for this phase of the work. She might be ok to see to tide me over, as they say, but not long term.

Just got to hope one of the others gets back to me, though I do have my T from 6 years ago trying to find someone for me too... Be interesting to see if she has any joy....

Oh, and I don't have insurance, all paid for by myself.
