Should I tell my GP that I am undergoing therapy – and do I require a referral from my doctor?

A:You do not need a referral from your GP nor do you have to let your doctor know you are receiving therapy.   However in many cases, especially if you are already receiving medical treatment for your condition, it is preferred, as a matter of courtesy,   to be able to write and inform your doctor what therapy is being offered.   But such a letter will only be sent with your express permission - and the decision as whether or not to give that permission, is entirely up to you.   Your confidentiality is always guaranteed.
