She's a doctor of clinical psychology, and costs me £180 a session, and I'm having 2 a week, so she's not a cheap option, but it was down to me wanting to really tackle it that made me go for the best I could find around here.
I think she just wants me to be able to push the limits of my anxiety, and obviously I can't do that effectively whilst I'm in this state, or it would be easier if I wasn't quite this anxious.
