\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPsychotherapists work with people with a huge variety of struggles ranging from people who have low self esteem and would like to feel better about themselves to people who are really struggling to manage day to day life and are in a lot of emotional pain and distress. We all struggle with our emotional wellbeing at times and talking things through with a therapist can be a helpful and safe way of getting on a journey to feeling happier and more resilient again.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t \n\t \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
We all experience stress and challenges as we move through life and psychotherapy can be useful in helping you to think about how your life effects you and how you respond to its challenges. This is important to know about because when we understand why we respond the way we do we can begin to choose healthier ways to respond to stress.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t \n\t \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Sometimes even when we try our best to make positive changes something in the world around us makes it impossible to make that leap. This is when psychotherapists will work closely with the people who are important in your life to help them make some adjustments too. Therapy is most successful when everyone understands the challenges and everyone is working together to make a change.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t \n\t \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
No one is allowed to force you to see a therapist if you really don\u2019t want to go. This is because therapy is a process where you will need to trust the therapist you are with and that won\u2019t happen if you don\u2019t really want to be there. But before you make that decision some times it can be helpful to go along to the first session to see if psychotherapy will be helpful to you and to see whether you would like to go back.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t \n\t \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Find a professional who you feel comfortable with and explain that you would like to speak to a therapist. If you are feeling suicidal, in a crisis or feel like you can\u2019t cope, speak to somebody straight away.\u00a0This could be a parent \/ carer or professional such as a GP. If you can\u2019t get a GP\u2019s appointment you can also go straight to A&E.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t \n\t \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Why would someone see a psychotherapist?
