So, finally figured out - odd chain of circumstances, one could come to believe in supernatural intervention - that I really do have a condition that would benefit from talking to someone. HAS benefited from talking, just not to professionals.
So, I need a therapist. A professional. No problem, I have access to funds.
The problem is finding and picking one out.
I've got friends who work in the NHS who're asking around for me.
I'm going to ask my GP for a suitable referral.
I've googled.
I've a sister who's medically qualified and worked for a while in psychiatry who insists I should stick with ones that are actual doctors.
What am I missing for search strategies? I need to be able to find someone relatively nearby who's not operating a waiting list of the kind you get with non-urgent NHS mental health care.
(And google has turned up some prize idiots. Lady, if you believe in homeopathy and can't spell-check your own website, I ain't trusting you with the contents of my mind.)
