OMG! Falling asleep during a counselling session is a major no no. Didn't she even look embarrassed or apologise?

Ah, well it's good that Relate is going well.

Shame that we pay our taxes for a NHS services in which a counsellor falls asleep, but when we pay well earned money for a private counsellor it works but that's a whole other rant isn't it!

My situation is slowly improving. Good and bad days

Definitely complain. Sleeping during a counselling session - WTF!!

Next time, as you say, it could be someone who is a hell of a lot more vulnerable than you. I dread to think.

On top of that, you were obviously there because you needed to be there and needed to get something out of it. Now you're going to miss out on valuable counselling sessions (understandably) because you don't want to see her again.

Put in a formal complaint.

And please don't be put off (I remember your thread). Ask to be referred to somebody else.

Definitely complain - she's earning a fortune whilst sleeping, and putting vulnerable people at risk like you say.

if she was that tired she should have said something and reprogrammed the session, id ask the surgery if theyve had any other complaints abut her...
