Can you get a referral from a GP? So that you visit a GP, who, after speaking with you, refers you to a psychiatrist? Is that possible?

Only if I displayed symptoms of still having mental health problems and I don't I was de-diagnosed not rediagnosed. Apparently I am just excessively prone to stress without a diagnosis whatsoever, I am allowed to work but advised against it for the time being. My latest Psych was good because he actually didn't want to put me in a box and he saw me as an individual and not a label. Which was great but I am kind of at an awkward halfway point between sick and well, where I get no treatment but need to be wary of working too. That's the obverse downside to being in a sort of 'grey area' instead of being labelled or put in a 'box'.
Is there some kind of counseling option, to see someone who is a professional counselor but who is not a psychiatrist?

For clarification, if you don't mind divulging details, EvD, what was your diagnosis and what is it now?

No Diagnosis, I was misdiagnosed as Bipolar for 7 years and after going through about 3 diagnosises my Psych said there was no diagnosis, that he was hesitant to use terms like mental "breakdown" but that is basically what I had had and no diagosis was required. Just the seven years of moodstabilzers.
