I totally agree with the above review. I was referred here by a sexual health nurse. I requested specifically to be seen by a male therapist and was therefore seen by a male trainee with a female supervising, the next appointment was the female only and I was told the male had left. I was not told until after my appointment that I had been referred there to assess if I was a risk to anyone and if they had thought I was, they could have kept me locked in there! Without any kind of warning. The therapist was very disinterested in what I had to say, told me that they didnt think personality disorders were real things, they couldnt diagnose me with anything as they are ¬ technically a doctor& and would not show me any of the things they wrote down from our interview. At the end of the process I was told that &I dont think you are depressed because you have laughed during the appointment& and that I would be sent back to my GP who would refer me to counselling. The appointment took nearly a year to get and the whole experience was a complete waste of time that left me feeling like I needed putting in a straitjacket. An absolute and complete mess, Totally destroyed any trust or faith I had in the NHS ability to help with mental health issues. Avoid at all costs, save up and go private or contact MIND and find some charities that can provide support.
