Tomorrow afternoon I have a telephone appointment with the local NHS Wellbeing Service to discuss further support for my anxiety. I went along to a group taster session on Monday, and they seemed very keen to put everyone into large group therapy sessions, which I understand is the most cost-effective way, but it seems very much to be a generic one-size-fits-all approach, and I think my problems and history are probably more complex than most other people's. A lot of people worry about practical, day to day concerns, whereas my worries are more abstract and more to do with existential anxiety, so I'm not sure if the generic group therapy sessions would work well for me.
Furthermore, I already attended group Stress Control sessions back in 2012, but now I feel that one-to-one support would be more helpful for me.
I'm 3 weeks in re-starting my medication, and I'm really struggling at the moment.
So, are you entitled to request one-to-one therapy on the NHS, or are they allowed to only provide group therapy?
