Short term support not suitable for everyone

Firstly, I was surprised to find out that the doctor couldn't refer to me to the wellbeing service, I had to get in touch with them myself. Once I did get in touch I discovered that the waiting lists for any kind of initial support was over six months; I've got seasonal affective disorder, so by the time I had waited six months it was summer and I wasn't suffering the same way I was before. When I eventually got to see someone, it was as part of a group session, which for someone with moderate anxiety and depression is not the best environment. I continued with the course anyway, and also had the opportunity to speak to psychological wellbeing practitioners at the service on a one-to-one basis. However, everything was based around the concept of CBT, and I was never able to see the same person more than once. I can see how that would work for some people, but I didn't find them very helpful myself. I think the kind of treatment you need depends on your personality; I needed more ongoing personal support, but options like that just weren't available.
