Considering Counselling? Learn more about seeking psychotherapy

Are you considering reaching out for mental health support and just don't know where to start? Many others might be feeling the same way! Starting therapy to support your mental health can be a very scary experience, especially if you've never done it before and don't know what to expect or who to get support from. It takes strength and vulnerability to begin the journey and reach out for support.

• The difference between a psychiatrist, psychologist, psychotherapist and social worker
• How to find a therapist
• What to expect from the process
