Seeking help from a professionally qualified therapist for personal issues and difficulties is neither 'self indulgent' nor 'weak'. On the contrary, at certain critical moments in life it is a sensible course of action and an investment in your future.
With an experienced therapist, within a secure and confidential environment, it becomes possible to think the unthinkable, to say the 'unsayable' and, when needed, to be supported in bearing the unbearable.
