Do you see a psychologist?

[Sil]

It's interesting to see the number of people here who've at least had experiences of these services...

I've had counselling myself back in 2005, part of the university facilities; it was just for break-up stuff when I was younger and a bit more emotional I guess. I have to say I didn't feel like it helped a great deal, as the outline made it quite clear that this was a listening service, not psychotherapy; therefore at times it felt like talking to a brick wall, albeit a very nodding sympathetic one.

I couldn't comment on more professional practices, although sometimes I think they would be worth looking at.
