People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons. A common misconception is that something really ‘bad’ needs to have happened to you. That’s not true. There are a million reasons people might decide to try therapy. Here are some examples:

• If you feel insecure and it’s getting in the way of doing things like going to a café or to the shops by yourself.

• If you struggle with maintaining relationships, whether its with a friend, partner or your family.

• You’re confused about who you are and what you want to do with your life.

• You find yourself using coping strategies that you know aren’t helpful long term, but you just can’t seem to stop.

• You belong to a marginalised community and you’re struggling because of the associated trauma.

• There’s some stuff that’s happened in your life that you don’t really talk about, but you know you probably should.

• You look on social media and scroll through profiles of your old school friends/peers and you feel sad about your own life.

• You just need to vent!
