To wonder if therapy work?

That is great, but I was just suggesting that a 3rd party who has some distance but is still invested in her may be a useful addition to you. There may be times when you are too close for her to want to come straight to you? So having others in addition can be good.

I've sent a message. Well, two, because I unintentionally sent the first before I'd finished. Ask anything else I might be able to help with. x

Doesn't sound very satisfactory to me. A therapist should be fully trained and qualified, as is my hypnotherapist.

I have been seeing a hypnotherapist from time to time over the last 3 1/2 years. He's helped me so much with various things. It's solution focused hypnotherapy which concentrates on finding solutions to your problems, concentrating on what you CAN do and how to make changes.
I first went to see A. after I'd had several (unexplained) falls outside the front door and was very anxious about going out. (I was 75 at the time) He helped me to visualise going out confidently - and I worked on it and succeeded. Each session is talking through things then the actual hypnosis part. It's very relaxing and A talks to me, to my subconscious mind with suggestions and maybe a story with a meaning in it. I usually feel I've gone to sleep and can't remember a word he's said. But it really is beneficial to me.
He works with young people as well. Sessions are in person (which I always have) or online. £65 per hour is his rate.

It may not work for everyone, but might be worth looking into. Send me a message if you want any more info. (not sure how you do that!) Good luck.

thing is you say it can't be indefinite, sure, but also therapy is very person dependent regardless of what kind it is. It isn't a X sessions and you're 50% better type of treatment. The other part of the problem is that therapy requires energy, effort and desire for it to work and also if there isn't a good rapport it's not going to happen

It feels like you're quite irritated that there isn't some quick and measurable improvement, but as someone who has had various types of mental health treatment and therapy this feels like it's just going to put pressure on your DD to "be better so you can not cost us money"

If be wary of allowing a dependency on therapy to for

Ask her if she has learned anything and is she able to use this to support her wellbeing going forward - this can be broached without compromising her privacy/confidentiality

Then why haven't you sat down and discussed with your daughter frankly what has happened? What her views are on the therapy? And on the changes you've made etc?

That's the real answer, the only way to know if therapy remains helpful is to ask her

This is a conversation best had with her therapist first. See if they can assist with the cost. I have gone through therapy at various points of my life. Due to abuse I was a ward of the state in the US until I was 18. Then I carried on therapy through my adult life due to it. It's not really something that is a once and done if you have experienced something traumatic. When I was going to taper off my therapy it was always discussed first with the therapist and a plan put together for coping strategies and what to do if I was at risk in the future.

It can in a lot of cases, if a teenager is self harming and at the root of it is that they'd are struggling to deal with transitions that occur mentally and emotionally as a teenager and the support of the talking therapy helps with reducing or stopping the self harm behaviour then continuing the therapy is beneficial indefinitely.

Because it can’t go on indefinitely.

Is your DD able to say why she self harms, although it's quite possible she may not know herself?
What was her childhood like, was there anything traumatic?

Children often adopt the patterns of the parents when they are young.
Do you or your husband suffer from anxiety/depression or any other mental health conditions?

Attending a talking therapy where you discuss the things you are finding stressful etc can be incredibly helpful as an ongoing therapy, many people find it incrwdibky helpful and it may be exactly what a teenager going through a lot of change needs.

If your child has struggled with self harm and this helps why do you want to pull it?

It was through our local children's hospital and NHS based. I think you need to talk to your child's therapist about what they are hoping to achieve
