Trying to find somewhere to get counseling, I tried through the NHS, I was told I’d have to wait 6 weeks. I waited six weeks and received a phone call, I was immediately told that this was just an assessment phone call and that an actual counseling session wouldn’t happen for at least another 16 weeks. As I’ve had what amounts to a terminal diagnosis I would have thought there was a quicker way of receiving help.
apologies if I’ve asked this before, my memory isn’t what it once was.
