So I can only provide limited feedback as it was a first session and so a lot of it was me giving information so that Lila has the picture. I thought she was friendly, although of course it takes a bit of time before I could feel comfortable. I was initially worried about being judged for the information I was giving, and because Lila would only ask open questions I was a bit nervous as to what she was thinking. But then after I nudged her she gave me some commentary and I liked it. I thought she quickly grasped the nuance of my experiences (which are not easy to analyse) and had just been gathering enough information before giving an opinion. I will be seeing her for a second session to see where it goes.

Lila is a wonderful therapist and as a couple we could not be more grateful, we are both getting so much out of our sessions and would highly recommend her.

Attempted to seek out a consultation in absence of my regular therapist. Unfortunately I felt a little pressured with Lila's very frequent what did you think and what was on your mind questions, I realise the technique what it aims at, but her consultation manner was rigid, blunt and not very natural. Consultation manner did not encourage the patient to talk. I did not appreciate her repeated inquisitiveness of my medication that is used off label to manage migraine, her googling had revealed it is also a medication to treat epilepsy and bipolar disorder. If I write it is for migraine, as I did, it is not necessary to inquire about how the medication is prescribed for bipolar. I tend to fiddle with paper or something during my consultations to focus, Lila thought its ok to point that out and ask if i was playing with a mobile phone (I was not, a plastic eyeliner I was just holding discreetly, she read my screen manners) Upon querying on her therapeutic approach, she said she will discuss that at a later consultation. Perhaps more suitable for life coaching type of work, but as for progressive, constructive talking therapy, I felt someone else was a better fit for me. If the therapist feels the patient is not a good fit for him or her, I recommend it is said out loud to the patient at the end, no need to tempt people with further consultations.
