Pete Doherty's new girlfriend has been ordered to attend therapy sessions by her parents.Matilda Thomas, 18, has been told to see a counsellor because her troubled lover's apparent bad influence has sent her into an alcohol-fuelled downward spiral.She said: "My mum made me attend alcohol counselling because I started drinking so much. "Pete drinks a lot and I feel like I have to keep up, but it's hard."Matilda - who is friends with party girl Peaches Geldof - was called by Pete at 1am on Thursday morning (21.08.08) to attend his impromptu show at London's Jazz After Dark club.She added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "He is amazing. I didn't even put on my shorts because I didn't want to be late."The 29-year-old hellraiser turned up at 3.15am wearing a cape and top hat. He had previously failed to show at a scheduled DJ set at nightclub Punk.
