I remember years ago being referred to a psyc in the public system. Some dude with a clipboard. Can't even remember the outcome but I didn't return. Around the same time I got a referral to Pieta. Same craic. A woman with a clipboard.
The best support I have received has been private. I was in therapy a number of years ago weekly for 4 years. Then about 2 years ago I went forthnightly. That particular lady was €80 a go and it was money extremely well spent.
Quality support for our well being shouldn't come at such a cost. However there is a lot to be said for the phrase "you pay peanuts you get monkies". The HSE should provide the care and pay their therapists an appropriate wage.
