Want to go to therapy but no idea where to start? In a time when everyone could do with someone to talk to, Stevie and Tessa chat to the totally brilliant Psychology Well-being Practitioner Melissa about how to self-refer through the NHS, how to get the most out of your sessions and to how to stop trying to make your therapist laugh. Melissa's recommendations if you're looking for a therapist; (Some of these are private and some are NHS): Mind: www.mind.org.uk/information-support/guides-to-support-and-services/ www.mind.org.uk/information-support/drugs-and-treatments/talking-therapy-and-counselling/how-to-find-a-therapist/ BACP: www.bacp.co.uk/search/Therapists UKCP: www.psychotherapy.org.uk/find-a-therapist/ NHS www.nhs.uk/service-search/find-a-psychological-therapies-service/ Remember that if you are severely struggling and feeling in crisis then you can seek urgent help by making an urgent same day GP appointment, going to to A&E or calling Samaritans.
