Yer, Dr Likely isn't exactly well though himself from my knowledge, and has some self careing he must also do... being time off. The strand walk would be great for you both... glad you both went and enjoyed yourselves.
I know I used to have to book months in advance, and I would blanket book and usually try and keep myself six months in advance at all times, to ensure I was atleast a priority as appointments moved. It worked well.
But yes, Michael is only a medicine man, making sure a person is not about to hurt themselves and that things are generally ok... but all the real work is done by the counsellors and social workers, being Martha and the VVCS team. I would attempt to blanket book with Martha even for six months or a year, so that way it become routine for him, even both of you, to attend regular sessions whilst he is not coping very well.
I say keep going though Jen, because you are getting him out and about, and with a little subtle manipulation, you will have him walking, exercising and careing for himself in no time... then you just have to monitor it and can do your own thing more.
