Many people wait until things feel unbearable before reaching out. Therapy can help much earlier than that.

You keep having the same difficult feelings

If worry, sadness or anger keeps returning, a therapist can help you understand why and what keeps it going.

Your usual ways of coping aren’t working

When sleep, exercise or talking to friends no longer help, a different kind of support can make a difference.

You want to understand yourself better

Therapy is also a place to reflect, make decisions and grow, not only to deal with problems.
