Another way to consult a health or welfare professional is through private practice. This is when they have their own business rather than work for an organisation. Many practitioners work in both public and private sectors.
Private practitioners include: Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Social Workers, Family Therapists. They may specialise in a specific issue, for example, anxiety or drug use.
It will usually be more expensive to see someone privately, but it may be more flexible. For example, they may be able to work with someone regarding a range of issues and over a longer time than some community organisations.
To find a private practitioner ask your doctor or Community Health Centre for advice, look in a local community directory, or search websites (see: Using the Internet to Locate Services).
