I have been waiting for counselling for the same length of time,i waited for two years with my local authrorities Health Trust only to be told that they couldn't see me as they were losing a counsellor and she wouldn't be replaced.I have been on a gay charities list for the last year and they still can't give me a start date.

The Government should stop bashing the vulnerable and put its money where its mouth is. I have been on Incapacity Benefit for the last three years due to severe depression.
