I believe that counselling is a fabulous idea. I know mine has help me no end. If you are ill, you see a doctor, if you break a tooth you see your dentist, it makes sense to see a counsellor if your head needs fixing! I know they can be costly but it really is worth it. I found mine by searching on yell.com and she was the one I felt drawn to - it's important to have a very good rapport from the outset - otherwise you're not going to be able to share your innermost feelings to help deal with the anger etc.

What would I be expected to talk about though? Is it just the counsellor talking? I'd like to go but don't feel very confident in telling a complete stranger all my secrets.

It is very important to have a good rapport with your counsellor from the outset. If you don't you're not going to heal. The counsellor will ask questions but will leave you to talk freely. They can teach techniques with how you can heal yourself and learn not to let things get you down so badly. One thing that mine has taught me is to write a letter to the person that has let me down the most - it allows you to get all your feelings out. You don't have to send the letter - it's just a really good, clear way to get your emotions and anger into a concentrated source instead of taking it out on those around you. I would really recommend that you go. There's nothing to be embarrassed about, these people are trained to help people like us.

I wish you luck.

Thanks so much for your good advice. I think I do need to go to help clear my head and to get a few things straight. I really like the letter idea. I think I'll give it a go.

It depends entirely on the counsellor - the one I saw cost £50 for a 55 minute session.

I thoroughly recommend it.

Should you have a lawyer look over your insurance papers since it seems they are worded in such terms that contradict each statement?
