Are psychiatrists/counsellors who work for NHS any good?

As a Retired Nurse with 30years in the NHS I would say the NHS ones are probably the best of the bunch ,they are there because they care -ok you get a few rotten apples but that happens everywhere. I am suspicious of any doctor that only has a private practice,they are in it got the money alone. A private psychiatrist will tell you what you want to hear and if that also involves expensive treatment they like it even better.A NHS psychiatrist will give you an honest diagnosis and get you the treatment that will work in the quickest time because it does not pay them to prescribe long drawn out therapies whereas it does if you go private. With many mental conditions there is no cure just treatment and most therapies will either work or not in a few months ,for a private therapist though dragging it out over years and telling you it takes time to work is how they make their money.
