"Did not act in accordance with evidence-based practice"

I visited a bulk billing psychologist twice. On the first appointment, it seemed they spent about 40 minutes talking about how they believed a Certificate IV in Integrated Technologies (Robotics Control Systems) was the best thing in the world for anyone to do. I recall they told me that I felt the way I did because I hated my workplace. They were on their phone showing me pictures of things and other stuff.

The clinician then spent the last 20 minutes telling me that at the next appointment they would explain their approach to solving mental health problems. I recall they said that they had been a psychologist for 40 years and that their approach was way better than others (by which I inferred CBT). The clinician said that usually people only needed 3 sessions with themselves and then the clinician never saw them again.

At the next appointment, which I believe was 30 minutes long, the clinician spent 20 minutes talking about the course again. I said that I had done some research and that it required or encouraged a background in engineering or mathematics. I said that I had done poorly with maths at school. The then spent a long-time fact checking what I had read on the TAFE's page.

At no point did we discuss how I was feeling suicidal or deal with the pressing anxiety. My parent had driven 300km and taken time off work to be with me during the week of the second appointment to help me. I was in a crisis state, but at no point did I receive care centered on me.
