Escort friendly therapists
« on: 26 June 2010, 01:02:24 am »
I'm wondering if there are escort-friendly therapists in London that you guys might know of. Not crazy, but sometimes like to have someone to talk to, and as a typical American, we do therapy. Does that exist here?

Go to your nearest well womans centre is the quickest way and its free. Your doctors may have a bit of a waiting list if you go there. But hey, we are all escort friendly therapists right here.  ;D

Cool question! I see a bereavement councellor and I have been sorely tempted once or twice to share fully as it were, but I as I see her through a local christian councelling service I haven't quite got the nerve up.   However, I was referred to her through my GP, and its very low cost. If you were prepared to pay then I a sure there are thousands of non judgmental types with lovely leather sofas and triple ply kleenex. Try your yellow pages, or the golden pages as you probably know it, and look out for ones with accreditation .

I have a therapist due to my sons condition. Its an automatic thing that gets set up to help carers cope. I mentioned my job once. Bigger fool me. Now every single bloody little problem I have is put down to the job.

If i feel down occassionally as I do sometimes feel trapped (yes selfish I know) then its not because my son demands 24/7 care it is because of escorting.
If I have  a day or two where nothing goes to plan it is because of the job.

I have found the best place to discuss problems is with the female coordinator at the GUM clinic. Pop along, mention you are an escort and would like to discuss things with someone and bobs your uncle you get all the help you need.
Stay away from therapists who are not involved in the sex industry in anyway as they become very biased very quickly.

The best therapy though can be found on here. Whenever I am down I just read the, 'how not to book an escort' thread and I end up rolling around on the floor almost wetting myself (old age setting in there).

There are plenty of Ladies on here that are more than willing to listen and offer advice if needed. It is a great place if you just want to have a moan. Unlike other forums it doesnt have the male misogynists who happily jump on your back. Just lots of friendly helpful advice
Truth is far more important than what one wants to hear. With truth there is no us and them or colour or religion there is just fact

Apologies for hijacking the thread but I was thinking of starting a similar one.

I'm looking for a therapist of some kind to help me deal with some stuff from way back in my childhood, but who will not be like "AHA! Your history is causing you to be a terrible person who has sex for money! Quit your job!". I'm wary about going through the NHS because they've sent me to some horrible, horrible psychiatrists before and I'd rather get some personal reccomendations if possible, preferably in the Northeast, I don't fancy getting dragged over the whole country, haha. I realise probably there aren't going to be many people who just happen to know who's good, but if anyone has any info I'd appreciate it :)

I can recommend a great therapist, he is on the south coast though so you would have to travel to him.  I originally saw him for bereavement councelling and after that finished kept seeing him privately for other issues I had.

I was very open and honest with him and he was very non judgemental regarding the industry I work in and what I do.  

If anyone would like his details please pm me.

On a side note, Im have started a three year degree in counselling, so if you can keep all your problems for three years I can help you out lol.  Seriously though,  I think that a therapist who is aware of whatworking in the industry is like would be of great use to ladies, which is one of the reaons Im doing the degree.  Yes, sometimes we have problems that are related to the job we do, but sometimes we dont and for a therapist to judge everything on the job you do is just wrong in my view.

I have seen a therapist to help me deal with something way back in my past that's affected me for a long time. At no point did she tell me to quit my job, in fact she saw my 'Escorting' as a positive thing in my life and was very interested in it from her own professional view point i.e. how we deal with guys, the sex etc.
