When to consult a counsellor or therapist ?

At what point does someone need a therapist?

There is never a good or a bad time. Whatever your problem, your worry or simply your desire to speak or to be listened to, you can call a therapist whenever you feel the need. It is your desire and your need which are at the heart of this process.

Here are some examples of specific problems which could lead to a patient consulting a therapist:
