Edit Specifically trained cosmetic surgery counsellors

<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"><strong>Psychology is a big field. Counselling might be considered as the little sister of psychology. Psychologists help with the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness. Cosmetic surgery patients are not generally mentally ill. A counsellor is a person who assists people to develop better understanding about themselves and to support changes in the patient’s life.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff;"><strong>Counselling owes much to psychology but it is different. Surgeons do their very best to put patients at ease while they explain the reality of what can be achieved. Crucially surgeons explain all about the physical risks of surgery and patients offer their consent accordingly. This is often a great deal for a patient to take in and should be given the time and space required for a patient to take it all in.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff;"><strong>There is simply not enough time in a surgical consultation to do justice to both mind and body issues. It must be about time that patients had approved counsellors to discuss emotional concerns with. Isn’t it time that patients were asked to consent to the emotional journey too?</strong></span></p>
