You might find it helpful to have some additional support alongside therapy.

If you are in crisis or need urgent support, you can contact:

Your doctor, ask for a referral to a Crisis team, or go to A&E.

Reading & Reflection

Some people find it helpful to reflect between sessions. This might include:

journalling thoughts or feelings
noticing patterns in your day-to-day experiences
taking time to slow down and check in with yourself

A Note

Therapy is a space to explore things at your own pace. There’s no expectation to do additional work outside of sessions, but you may find it helpful at times.
