I realise there are other posts about councellers on here, but couldn't find what i was looking for.
1. I have been referred to a counceller, however I am concerned as I have read that they only deal with things in the present, where as my issues are in the past. I mentioned this to my doctor, and I said "I feel that this wouldn't be adequate, as I have had a counceller once before who gave me one session and that's it". He still recommends I keep my appointment and see what happens, although I am not so sure, what do you think?
2. Can councellers refer you to other services if they cant help or do they basically send you back to the doctors?
3. I am concerned about speaking openly to a health professional as I find it extremley difficult to speak to my partner and the doctor, what happens if I clam up and start to feel like I cant be totally honest with them?
4. Can I call beforehand and tell them if I am worried about attending?
