Reasons to visit a therapist in Chelsea
There are many different reasons you may seek a therapist in Chelsea. Here are some of the main reasons people attend therapy sessions, but it is, of course, not exhaustive.
Depression
Depression is considered the most common of all mental health problems. This does not mean it is not serious and some people’s battles with depression are significant and hard to overcome. One on one therapy sessions can help people living with depression unpack their feelings. It also provides the safe space needed to vent, express vulnerabilities, and talk through difficulty issues such as suicidal or intrusive thoughts.
Addiction
People living with alcohol addiction or drug addiction often need counselling or support after or during withdrawal. Learning to live again and overcome addiction is difficult and the chance to talk through feelings and compulsions can help addicts manage their recovery. Group therapy is common form of addiction counselling.
Grieving
Losing a loved one is devastating and managing the emotions and moving forward can feel impossible. Grief counselling and therapy helps individuals manage their grief in a healthy way. Unmanaged grief can lead to self-destruction and damage other relationships too. It can also lead to depression so seeking therapy can help manage the grieving process and recognise the pain without letting it become overwhelming.
Anger Control
Recognising your anger is out of control or overwhelming is a positive step. Seeking out therapy for support is an even more positive one. Unreleased anger can lead to a path of self-destruction or even harming those around you and damaging relationships irreparably. Anger management therapy and counselling can help with keeping these feelings in check.
Feeling Stuck or Lost
It is completely natural to have feelings of confusion or to wonder what’s next. This can happen at the so-called “midlife crisis” point in life, or it can come at any time. Feelings of anxiousness and even panic around what the next step forward is can be helped with the right therapist. Therapy provides an effective mediator between you and your thoughts and can help in putting them in order and finding your next step.
