Psychotherapy Counselling Reviews

Introduction: I have thought pretty long and hard about writing a review on therapy/counselling/psychotherapy, not least because I recognise that if I do write a review and let members here know what I do for a living I might get a lot of people contacting me via messages, with questions that I can't or would not be prepared to answer.

This is my 2nd op on here, thanks to those of you who took the time out to rate my first one thus encouraging me to do this one! I hope that I am putting it in the correct category?
