Should I ask for help?

Deciding to seek counselling can be a daunting prospect for any adult let alone a young person, it can raise many different questions such as what will my counsellor be like? What will we talk about? Will they judge me? Will people think I’m crazy?

Growing up can be confusing at the best of times, add to that a sad or difficult experiences that you may have been through or are currently dealing with, then life really can be a struggle to get your head around.

You may think you’re a bad person, blame yourself for things that were outside of your control, have panic attacks, bouts of sadness, moments of anger or rage, and find yourself feeling helpless or thinking that life has little or no meaning. Before you know it, it can feel as though your head is full of a million questions or thoughts buzzing around your head…. “what if?” “What’s the point?” “I’m not good enough.” or “I shouldn’t be feeling like this!”
