First shrink I was refered to had a very high success rate. This was based on his patients/clients not bothering to go back to him because he was an utter fuckwit. I went into my doctors surgery one day, and a chap I knew was being escorted out by his doctor, who was telling him he had arranged an emergency visit with the same shrink. I just knew it was going to go badly - even phoned the surgery to ask if GP could visit the chap I knew - they declined. After his one session with fuckwit, the patient went home and took an overdose. Fuckwit was called out to me because I had been a victim of a serious crime - he made matters worse.
If I were loking for a counsellor now, I would ask word of mouth - same if I have to change my doctor. Same as I would if my vet retired (he is very good - if I ask for 'ballpark advice' - he will give it to me on human stuff - explains things more clearly.)
