I would go back to the doctor and request a referral to counselling. I had to request this when I suffered from depression, as they don't seem to just offer it. Also mentiom it to your HV as she may be able to get the doctor to do it. Hope they sort it for you and you can get the help that you need

Yes, go back and request. Request until you get the help you need.
