Therapy—sometimes it’s life-changing, sometimes it’s awkward, and sometimes you get told you don’t need it anymore… because you’re just showing up for fun (Alice, we’re looking at you).

This week, we’re talking about our experiences with counselling—how we got there, what we expected, and whether it actually helped. Beth saw a school counsellor, while Alice went privately after realising she needed support. We also chat about the reactions we got from others, the unexpected ways we’ve found our own versions of “therapy,” and whether we’d recommend it.

We’re also sharing some charities and social media accounts that we’ve found helpful, because sometimes, the right support makes all the difference.
