You Are Not Alone
The thought of starting counselling or psychotherapy and talking to someone about the problems you are experiencing can feel daunting. It can be hard to make the first move.
Sometimes people tell me they put off talking to someone – sometimes for months – because they felt bad about feeling bad, or experienced feelings of guilt or shame, thinking “I should be able to sort this out by myself…”
Usually people feel relieved once they have made a start, and often tell me at the end of their sessions that they wish they had spoken to someone sooner.
Every year, one in four people suffer with some kind of mental health issue.
We all experience distressing events, difficult feelings or relationship issues at some point in our lives, it’s just part of being human. And at those times, a little support can go a long way.
Whatever you are experiencing, you don’t have to face it alone. In reading this website and looking for support, you have already taken a positive first step on your journey towards feeling better.
However bad things are, it’s never too late. Talking therapies can help.
