DD nearly 10 was referred to one last year by her psychologist last year, she felt due to her complex personality as well as struggling to "accept" being AS that dd would benefit. Unfortunately the one psychotherapist left and wasn't replaced.
I am finding it increasingly difficult to continue implementing strategies to help (visual timetables, self awareness programme, RDI, worry book etc) as dd refuses to use anything that relates to her condition. She has mock sats this week so couldn't sleep last night and is understandably unsettled this morning, insisting on knowing what are we doing first after school etc. this is so frustrating as I know this could be overcome if we still had the visual timetable/worry book in place. I have a private psychotherapist number but was just wondering if anyone who has used one could tell me the effectiveness and whether it would address these issues.
