Depression counselling

Abathur

I am an adult male, and have Aspergers Syndrome. I am currently suffering depression.  I have had two lots of CBT but I do not think it has helped much. What I think I need is a counsellor on a one to one basis to just talk to.

I work part time, as at present that is all I can manage. Can anyone advise me as to where would be a good place to start to find specialist counsellors?

    I don't think that depression counselling would come under Access to Work. Depression counselling is a health treatment whereas AtW is for employment related issues. There is a difference between being fit, or well enough, for work and having a fair chance of doing a job. AtW gives people who need it a hand-up by providing training or other assistance.

    I'm a bit puzzled by the OP's query - was the CBT not provided on a one to one basis or was the problem that the CBT therapist had their own ideas about what each session was going to discuss?
