Can my gp fund mental health diagnosis/assessment?
It’s important to note that even the GP agrees that you need the group therapy course, he will not be able to refer you unless the NHS as approved the course. Essentially, all the treatments that are available to you are determined by your area’s local health authority (PCT) and not the GP. If the GP says they can only refer you to psychology or psychiatry, then it’s possible they are the only choices they have to offer.
