writes:Okay I have come to realise that I have some SERIOUS emotional issues and I think I need counseling. Actually I know I do, I won't lie... I'm borderline crazy. Well I definitely have a lot of emotional and psychological problems anyway. I definitely need to see a counselor or therapist of some kind but does anyone know how to find one? I mean do you just look one up in the yellow pages or what? I would prefer to not do it through my doctor since I live in such a small town and my doctor is actually a family acquaintance. I know they have to respect your privacy and can't tell anyone anything but it would just be weird. I should also point out there is no way I could afford £100 an hour or anything ridiculous so maybe it would have to be NHS? and also does anyone know if there is a way to see a therapist or psychologist but keep it off your medical records? thanks x Reply to this Question

Since you're anonymous on here I don't know your age, but some colleges have these services for free for a few sessions. In the US, health insurance also covers some of it, but I don't know if that works in your situation. Doctors usually know the best way to go about it, and yes it might be weird, but it might be the best option.

 I'd start with going to a church that has counselors to help people with life crisis or concerns or find a specific group that meets each month where you can express your concerns--like a help group. From there they can direct you to people you can speak with. Sometimes they are listed in the news papers.
I hope you can find the help and assistance you are looking for.
