There can be many reasons for seeking help in the form of therapy. Perhaps you have suffered a loss, such as a bereavement or divorce. You may be feeling overwhelmed. You may feel anxious, or depressed, perhaps as a result of relationship issues, or problems at work. You may suffer from low self-esteem. You may have unresolved issues from the past. You may be feeling stuck, or off kilter, and don't know why. Perhaps you find yourself saying yes when you really mean no in order to avoid conflict with others. Or maybe you want to use therapy for self-care, as a way of maintaining good mental health. Whatever your reason, you have taken the first step to taking control.
