It may not feel like it, but you’ve already taken the first step...
I know from personal experience, how scary and confusing it can be making the decision to contact a counsellor or therapist. Many of my clients tell me they have been struggling with a mental health issue, personal crisis or problems with a relationship for a lengthy period of time before seeking help. Sometimes a friend has proved a source of comfort and support, but this help can only go so far. Acknowledging that you need more, is the first step towards improving your life.
