We all go through tough patches—when life feels a bit too heavy when everything seems a little off. But recognising when you could use some support is one of the most powerful acts of self-care. Counselling isn’t just for crises. It’s a space where you can pause, breathe, and work through the things weighing you down. If any signs below feel familiar, it might be time to chat with someone who gets it.
﹌
1. You’re Stuck in Sadness or Hopelessness
We all feel low sometimes, but if the clouds aren’t shifting and it feels like you can’t find your way through, counselling can help you uncover what’s going on beneath the surface.
2. Anxiety is Running the Show
Stress is normal, but when anxious thoughts start dictating your day-to-day, it’s time to talk. Counselling can give you practical tools to help you manage your worries and feel more in control.
3. Your Emotions Are All Over the Place
Are you more irritable, snapping at loved ones, or just on an emotional rollercoaster? Therapy can help you find balance and understand what’s triggering these shifts.
4. You’ve Pulled Away from the People You Love
If you’ve been dodging plans or feeling distant from friends and family, it’s worth exploring why. Talking it through with a counsellor can help you rebuild those connections.
5. You Can’t Sleep (or Sleep Too Much)
Whether you’re lying awake all night or hitting snooze a little too often, disrupted sleep can be a sign of emotional strain. Counselling offers insight and solutions to restore restful nights.
6. Work, School, or Life Feels Overwhelming
If your focus is gone, deadlines feel impossible, or you’re not yourself, it might be time to reach out. Counselling can provide practical strategies to manage stress and find motivation again.
7. You’re Struggling with a Life Change or Loss
Big changes—whether exciting or heartbreaking—can stir up many emotions. Counselling allows you to process those feelings and adjust at your own pace.
8. Your Body Feels the Stress
Physical symptoms like headaches, tight shoulders, or tummy trouble can often indicate that your emotions need attention. A counsellor can help you understand and address that mind-body connection.
9. Your Relationships Feel Strained
If tension, conflict, or emotional distance are creeping into your relationships, therapy can help you get back on track by exploring what’s going on.
10. You Feel Stuck and Lost
It’s normal to feel like you’ve lost your way now and again. A counsellor can help you find clarity, reconnect with what matters, and move towards where you want to be.
