They should be registered with a professional body, complain about them, and find a new therapist. Some may have ethical issues at talking about your problems in front of a child but that should have been discussed beforehand. And whoever the new therapist is I’d check in with them before you turn up with your child. Or switch to an online therapist x
I am a therapist. I have had clients bring their child to session if they are experiencing challenges with childcare. When my son was an infant, I did online sessions and I would bring him along also. Definitely look for another therapist who is more understanding and accomidating. Having a therapist that is the right fit for you is important. Depending on the age of child, the accommodation may look different as someone mentioned. A child who is old enough to comprehend, may need to be accomidated differently. We often have an empty playroom for children to play in if they are older or toys at the front with the receptionist helping to keep an eye on older children.
You don’t need AI to tell you this—or anything. Also, if you ask AI in a different way, it’ll tell you the opposite.
Not every therapist is for you, may not seem like it now but she done you a favour.
If you want to stay with that therapy office, see if they offer teleheath/virtual visits. If not and you try another office, try the same 💐💕
Some therapist will and some won’t .
I have been with this place before and my last therapist at the same place was completely find with it however this one was trying to find any excuse to drop me like I had a sickness bug last week I told her the day before as she said you need to give as much notice as possible she said since you have missed this session with no notice if you miss another you will be dropped and your place will be give to someone else I felt like she was digging for an excuse but she was also saying no one else will take me on because I have no childcare and I've been told I need to do in person due to complex needs it's just very frustrating
I have the same problem. I joined better health. Online. Honestly for the price of a session with a therapist you get one therapy session a week one to one and it’s so easy to change therapist if you want to. You get a group therapy session loads to choose from and hundreds of live webinars to help your healing journey. If you can’t do live webinars you just sign up for them and you can watch them after whenever you want for a week. If your on low income benefits you get it all for like £35-£45 a week. Honestly I also live remote as well as no childcare it’s great. Therapy can be phone call, video or text. I’ve grown so much over the last three months.
