What is Therapy?
When is the right time for therapy?
Far to often we find individuals not believing their experience is serious enough to reach out for help and support. However, the type of support available from therapy can benefit them by allowing them to be aware of the world they live in. The right time for therapy is when you feel comfortable with dealing with trauma and or experiences that are having a negative impact on your life.
Talking Therapy
The type of therapy we work with here at South Asian Therapist is all about talking. Individuals sit down and express their feelings and emotional difficulties with their trained therapist. This can be online therapy or face to face therapy, where you can discuss anything from anxiety, relationships as well as addiction for example.
