Wanting a new therapist but wary

[coach77]

I'm not doing great these days and feel like I need to talk to someone but I'm super wary after being jerked around by three therapists in the space of a year. After being bailed on and been greeted with a shrug after opening up I'm very concerned about the number of unserious/unprofessional operators out there. I'm also frustrated by the all the time and money I've already wasted, and the fact the authorities found these therapists' behaviour utterly unremarkable. It gets hard sometimes and think I should find someone professional to talk to but then I remember what a crap shoot it is. Surely there's a better way?

Hi coach77 I’m so sorry to hear about what you’ve gone through but I also think that when you find the right therapist they’ll make up for the not so great ones you’ve come across so far. I’ve had the opposite as although I’m not seeing the psychologist my gp recommended to me as that one she was not taking on new clients back when I called to set up a appointment to see her I did find another one from the ‘find a professional’ on the beyondblue website which I left her name & details for with a receptionist at the practice were my gp is to pass on to her which I’ve now been seeing this psychologist I found since the 7th of September I think it was last year.
