Getting counselling / therapy

[mynameissecret]

How can I get counselling through GP. Every time I ask for it I get told to do mood juice or living life to the full but I don't need to feel better now I need to process old events. I really feel talking therapy would help.

Hi there,
I went to my gp and she referred me to an organisation called Insight - really good but I think it is only in the north of England. But wherever you are your gp amdnd specifically ask for therapy or counselling. Good luck!

Thanks got appointment tomorrow so I'll try again. Should have gone private before I changed jobs!
