I'm in Scotland, I had went through a building confidence group via ine of the Clinical Psychologist's and her student. It was a 12 week course. She recommended from what she saw of me I'd benefit from Psychology input. My CPN was not convinced. He thought I was fine???

This was Oct 2016 and I saw the Clinical Psychologist and her student from my area Dec 2016. They deemed I needed their input. So in Jan 2017 I saw the student. This lasted until May (appts weren't weekly either) when the student graduated. I saw the Clinical Psychologist in the July 2017 by August 2017 she discharged me and said I wasn't needing her??? I was so angry as the student was tackling my perfectionism and my social anxiety.... which the support worker from my team was meant to help with that... (that was a joke... she never tackled anything!!)

I now pay privately for therapy as my area in Scotland is pretty poor for mental health input
