The counselling sessions I’m having are free, they only have a limited resource so have to limit the sessions so that they can help as many people as they can.

Just had session 7 with Cruse, got quite emotional this time & feel a bit drained. Last session next week but I do have some more booked with another provider.
I am waiting to hear from cruise, are they any good had mixed reviews. Hugs Jo xxx

I contacted cruise but they never helped me as I’d hoped. This is one of the reasons I steer clear of these so called bereavement organisations

Yeah I have had past experiences with counsellors. It didn’t end well.
Oh dear Steve that doesnt board well at all, it doesn’t give me alot of confidence in them then . Hugs Jo xx
No I found I’m better of without any sort of counselling
Well I shall have to see how it goes, if I dont think its helping Steve then I shall cancel it . Hugs jo xxx
All you can do is give it a try @jevncute - you’ll find both positive and negative accounts of counselling experiences on this site, and neither can be a predictor of your personal experience because a) you are unique and b) its highly unlikely you’ll get the same counsellor that any of us had! Everyones grief journey is unique, some will find benefit in support groups, some in journalling, some in counselling and a myriad of other options. I think everyone is on a journey of exploration to work out what helps them and what doesnt, so trying something is the first step to working that out

What I think is no matter what counsellor you get if just one of them doesn’t inspire confidence it’s just enough to put you of from going to a different counsellor. It’s not exactly a good advertisement to seek counselling. It’s hard seeking help as it is. I’m not willing to put my confidence in someone who is a huge disappointment
