You Don’t Need to Be in Crisis to Start Therapy

Have you thought about starting therapy but stopped yourself because things aren’t that bad?

• “I don’t need it yet.”

• “But I’m not in crisis.”

• “I can deal with this by myself.”

• “This isn’t serious enough for therapy.”

  
  

These thoughts can make us delay seeking support, convincing us that therapy is only for moments of crisis or emotional breakdown.

But that’s a common misconception. While therapy is absolutely there for you during very difficult times, it can be just as valuable when you’re feeling okay but want to understand yourself better.

Counselling isn’t just for crisis, it’s for growth

Maybe you’re noticing unhelpful patterns in your behaviour. Maybe you’re tired of people-pleasing, or you want to challenge long-held beliefs that no longer serve you.

Therapy can help you explore these things before they lead to burnout, anxiety or feeling stuck. In fact, seeking support before you’re in crisis can be one of the most empowering decisions you make.

What Happens in Counselling?

As a therapist in Bath, I work with people who are navigating all kinds of life experiences, not just those who are in crisis. Together, we explore your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and the beliefs that may be holding you back.

You might discover that:

• You’re making choices based on others’ expectations of you

• You’re stuck in loops of self-doubt

• You feel fearful of change

• You’re unsure of what you really want or need

  
  

Counselling gives you the space to understand yourself more deeply, helping you live more consciously, with clarity and intention.
