Behaviour anger screaming low mood anxiety lash out

NAS87002

here’s another question of mine and as I struggle to get answers or anyone to know how what do when it comes to accessing the right support for my child’s needs my daughter 15th at old 

does anyone on here know who be it private or through nhs had any success in getting a person place to help make a difference?

Is it a Paediatrician , CBT, Therapist, Phycologist, Ocupational therapist the most goes on 

someone surely helps with this why is it take. Years to be told that only one if the above has been mentioned to me and yet even more bizarre is when I explain that when  my daughter finds it difficult to express herself when it comes to telling or accepting the  offer of talking to someone taht I have been told that if she not ready then can’t force her then leaves you with the battle yourself and not an ounce of plan B or encouragement given either by  suggestion or any other means if anyone has a private recommendation please let me know I am in Birmingham area thank you

it’s just unbelievable given the reason for having issues in first place surely tells you this is part of the problem so further steps should be taking in order to try and achieve a plan that works and helps or what’s the point of trying to be there for someone when actually your not ?? 
I have now spoken for the millionth time to someone who was very understanding and nice and need re referral back to CAHMS her we go again and Early help with a wait time for weeks. But speeded you by my persistence and desperation only!

  • I honestly think now if you have the money to do so at all then go private whilst waiting for the NHS to catch-up otherwise you face a potentially agonising long wait with zero help at all. It's not cheap going private but if you can ask to space the sessions out and pay per session you can stretch your budget a bit further for it if you are also of the opinion  "half the help is better than no help".

    (I had some success with CBT (NHS) , for myself though I had to adjust it to fit my own situations and I only did the preliminary 1 to 1 sessions and then skipped the group sessions.
    (Because the group sessions were going to be as good as useless, no may in h*ll I as an autistic person am going to sit in a group of randos and share my most vulnerable self, again to a bunch of strangers, when I already have trauma and trust issues and problems communicating).
    I also paid privately (no NHS)  for a limited run of spaced out one to one online sessions of talk therapy as a top gap until the CBT would take place.)


    You can find private therapists and councilors via google maps believe it or not, and you can look for services that may be NHS run alternatives to CAHMS through Young Minds website directory. NAS also has a services directory you can look into on their main site.
