Was going to post this in the abuse forum but thought it would be more suitable here.

This regards my daughter who is 21, I found out early this year that she was sexually abused by my dad My dad was on trial at the time for sexual abuse and was convicted and is now in prison, Anyway my daughter did not want to go the police in which I respected her wishes...Moving forward I got her a counsellor in which she has been going to now for 4 weeks this woman has been defending dad saying that you have to feel sorry for the abuser, Today my daughter came back from counselling so upset that I got on the phone and called this counsellor's manager up in which she said they have had complaints before, I am shocked, Also my daughter is given a questionnaire every week to see how her mood has been on a 1 to 10 scale, This woman changes it, Anyway the office are now investigating this counsellor and are giving my daughter another one, It is truly shocking, My daughter has gone for help not to be treated this way

Wow! No other agency you can use? I'd be angry that they have had complaints before and haven't done anything earlier. Your daughter should not have been put through that.

((Buttercup and Daughter)) - I agree this is shocking and wrong for the counselor to say this. Very inappropriate and unsympathetic to your daughter. Good for you for complaining and I hope they speak to this counselor. Hope your daughter gets a better one who'll help her.

I have been with them myself just last year and I had a fantastic therapist, unfortunately my daughter was given a horrible counsellor also this lady is very old school and is pushing 80, I honestly felt like going over to this counsellor's office earlier and telling her what I thought of her, When I say they have had complaints before I meant about this counsellor.

I'm so sorry for your daughter - and good for you for being a protective parent of an injured child, and good for your daughter for speaking up and telling someone what was happening. She shouldn't have had to go through that. At 21, I don't think I could have argued with the agency. And she shouldn't have been put in this position!!!

No, She did get assessed for CBT but did not need it they thought counselling was best for her.

Yes, but complaints before about this counsellor and they decided they'd try her again using your daughter as guinea pig? I think I'd ask for a discount on further therapy or something.

I'm so glad you stood up and refused to let your daughter be further abused...and this time by a "therapist". The good T's can be great, but the bad ones are awful and can cause a lot of pain.
Thanks for this!

Oh goodness, that's horrific! I'm really sorry that your daughter had to go through that... on top of everything else that she's had happen.

I hope that she will be able to give another T a chance to actually help her as this one failed so hugely
