How do I find a therapist for DD?

[Birdinflightonahotsweetnight]

I’ve NC’d as DD knows my usual username.

She is 14 and a lovely, bright, kind and generous girl. She has lots of friends and a wicked sense of humour.

She is doing well at her school, which is a private, fairly high-pressure place but like many in that environment she is struggling with anxiety. She doesn’t feel able to talk to her friends about her struggles because she sees they have problems too (and often dump them on her) and she feels it would be selfish to burden them with her issues.

I have tried to persuade her that she can rely on DH and me as well as her friends but she would prefer someone a bit more detached to talk to. I promised her I would look into finding someone, but I don’t know how to go about doing that.

I’d be very grateful for any pointers. Thanks.

I found dd' therapist from link below

After you enter post code you can select issue, age and gender. You will get an idea of fee per hour and also qualification. Try to choose a psychotherapist instead of a counselor if you are looking for one to one talking therapy.

Have you suggested Childline or young minds ? Telephone service . Sounds like she is wanting to offload ?

It’s seriously expensive. We’ve googled and just looked at their qualifications and specialisms.

Have you checked with the school? Many have a counselling service or recommendations.

Thanks all for your recommendations. I will speak to her form tutor who I’m told is a good place to start.

I would go straight to a psychologist and have cbt . I wasted thousands on a therapist .. dd now having cbt for anxiety !
