Explore what therapy can help with

Reasons people seek therapy

You do not need to be experiencing a crisis or have a particular diagnosis to benefit from therapy.

People seek support for many different reasons, including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, bereavement, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and major changes in their lives.

Therapy can also provide space to understand yourself more deeply, explore recurring patterns or talk about thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to discuss elsewhere.

Finding support that fits your needs

The issues people bring to therapy are rarely completely separate from one another. Anxiety may affect relationships or work, for example, while experiences from the past may influence confidence, emotional wellbeing or the way you respond to situations today.

An experienced therapist can help you explore these connections without expecting you to fit neatly into one category.

The topics listed above are therefore a useful starting point rather than a complete list of the reasons somebody might choose therapy.

Find a therapist who can help

The London Counselling & Therapy Directory brings together therapists with experience across a wide range of emotional, personal and relationship difficulties.

Our free therapist matching questionnaire allows you to tell us what you would like support with, along with your preferences for how and where you would like therapy to take place.

We’ll then recommend therapists whose experience, approach and availability match what you are looking for, including options for both face-to-face therapy in London and online sessions.
