My GP is fantastic, she lets me talk as much as I need and sometimes my appointments have been 40mins long when i know they are meant to be 10mins. She always works hard to keep my out of hospital and tries her best to put in extra support for me during a crisis, even when i refuse to see the crisis team.
My old psych (who went on long term sick leave last year, but is back now) she is great, I had a 2 hour session with her once when I was really bad, the appointment was only meant to be 30mins I think, but she let me talk and she was going to find a bed for me in a hospital during this appointment as I was extremely suicidal, but i said I was going home for the weekend to see my mum and sister, so she let me go to see them as I said it may help.
My two counsellors I used to see at a place for young people with emotional problems, were both great. the second one had to take me to hospital twice after I had turned up to the session having OD'd and she called an ambulance for me and came with me, even having to talk to the medical staff at AandE because I was unconscious.
My old therapist, even though at times I hated him because he kept saying i had to put aside my suicidal feelings while I was in therapy, he was really supportive and didn't get angry with me, when it was clear I was struggling and wasn't doing the homework he had set, he also saw me for longer than expected because I wasn't doing well. I have now ended things with him now because I wasn't ready for therapy, but he was a good support.
