As a therapist, I often find myself face to face with people where it has obviously taken tremendous courage to seek help in the form of counselling.
It is so easy for friends and family, GP’s and the like to say ‘sounds like you need some professional help – why don’t you get some counselling!’ To many who have never been in this situation before and are already feeling extremely vulnerable, this must conjure up an image that even the most confident person would shy away from. Fear of the unknown and being judged must surely spring to mind to those feeling far removed from their usual selves in the first place. Please be assured that if you are on my website, you are already one step nearer to seeking help.
