Welcome to Thinking about therapy - I do it for a living but I
wanted to talk to others to find out what they think, feel, know and
question about therapy. Maybe others think it is a waste of time?
What makes us go to therapy? What are people’s experiences of
therapy? Why do we talk to others? Have you ever encouraged
someone to attend? What would you like to know about therapy?
These are questions not just about therapy, but about mental
health in general. I am a strong believer that therapy does not have
to take place sitting opposite each other in a room. In fact, I think
therapy as we know it is changing.
I am Dr Patricia Barber, a Counselling Psychologist passionate
about all things related to our mental health. I am hoping to speak
with a range of people from all walks of life about mental health
and their thoughts on therapy.
