I've seen a few therapists privately in the UK, two counsellors and one psychologist, and in every case I've found that in the first session they just get to know you, potentially may ask questions about your life and try to figure out how to best help you. They are also literally trained not to be judgmental, and of course I know that some therapists aren't great, and quite often people may not connect with one but will with another, but the whole 'this is the worst therapist in all of Brighton now I feel worse' just goes along with how Gabby is as a person and why she needs therapy in the first place. There's a reason we all joked on here before the therapy like 'oh I bet Gabby will go home crying about how mean and horrible the therapist was and never go back' and now it's actually happened.
I feel disappointed for her because I really think she needs therapy so badly and I did hope that it would have gone well for her. But now she'll have an excuse just to carry on doing nothing and wallowing away in her flat.
