How Do I Know If I Need Therapy?

You don't need to wait until you are in crisis to talk to a therapist.

Therapy can be useful when something in your thoughts, emotions, relationships or daily life is becoming difficult to manage or understand.

You might consider talking to a professional if you have been experiencing:

• Persistent worry or anxiety
• Low mood
• Loss of interest in things you usually enjoy
• Difficulty managing stress
• Sleep problems
• Relationship difficulties
• Grief or loss
• Workplace stress or burnout
• Loneliness
• Anger or irritability
• Changes in appetite or energy
• Difficulty concentrating
• A major life transition
• Feelings that you don't understand or know how to manage

You also don't need to have a diagnosed mental health condition to seek talking therapy.
