I went through my megacorp insurance company, gp gave me a little test, ticked enough boxes where the red flags went up and got a referral.



Sounds downright American.

Possibly overlooked point in this post is that the first therapist you see may not be the one you stick with, and don't feel bad about finding another therapist if you feel as though the one you're seeing isn't helping. It is not uncommon to see several before you find "the one" as Strat said.
