Hi, nice to meet you 
I think this derm might be slightly off, as you’ve had uvb treatment before there will be a record, and if you’ve tried it and been unsuccessful you ought to be able to bypass it. You would probably not avoid the methotrexate though.
But I’d probably go and see the nhs derm, it’s obtaining another opinion and you might be surprised - if you are doing well with the drug you’re on they may keep you on it, especially if it’s not that expensive to the nhs.
