Could therapy help me?
Common reasons to access therapy
You do not need to know exactly what is wrong to begin.
Taking the first step towards therapy can feel difficult. You may be going through a challenging time, feeling overwhelmed or simply noticing that something does not feel quite right. You may not know what is happening or be able to put it into words. You may simply know that you do not feel like yourself. Someone may have suggested therapy, or you may have received a referral and feel unsure about what happens next.
People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be feeling burnt out, struggling with change or trying to make sense of your experiences. You may also be exploring neurodivergence and noticing the impact that masking has on your energy, relationships or sense of self. You do not need to wait until things reach a crisis point to ask for support.
Therapy gives you space to talk openly, better understand what is happening and find a way forward that works for you.
