Can someone recommend a good therapist? I am guessing my gp would just dish out more tablets

My mother uses a service in West Sussex called 'time to talk'. Ask GP if there is similar over here. Therapists are a bit like chiropractors, it can take time and cash till you find a good match. The drugs can cause a bad spiral, anxiety, depression and insomnia all kicking of at once.
GPS are not great for this, if they are old school some don't even consider it a real problem. Mindfulness and breathing techniques will help. There are no clear answers or magic bullets I am sorry to say. Best of luck.

Loopy, good for you, psychotherapy is proven to decrease dependancy on anti-depressant medication by addressing the causes rather than dampening down the symptoms - I speak from long personal experiemce.
However, therapy is a very individual thing and what works for someone may not work for you. There are also varying levels of qualification among therapists. Most therapists will offer a heaviliy discounted first session, so my recommendation is to find someone local with the appropriate professional accreditation - look for BACP or UKCP accreditation.
The UKCP has a find a therapist search function in the link below.
Good luck, and good for you

Thanks both. Many years ago I did see the chap in the cellar at School Hill Surgery. Not sure if they still refer people to him if he is still there. It did make a difference back then

Ask you GP to refer you to Health in Mind - they provide courses and therapies to people who are registered with a GP in East Sussex, are over 18 and struggling with stress, anxiety and or low mood. Alternatively you can self-refer online (just Google them). They certainly helped me!

I’m deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Trevor Arms. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and all who... more
QUOTE OF THE MOMENT
I like the walk along the ouse to Hamsey church, the view from the top of the Castle, Pells pool, the antique shops and boot fair, the lion in the window of the 15c bookshop, keere street
