counselling and psychotherapy can support anyone who wants to improve their mental health, relationships, or daily wellbeing. If you’ve ever wondered “Do I really need therapy?”, here are 10 signs that speaking with a therapist might be the right step — even if life feels ‘okay’ on the surface.

1. You Feel Constantly Stressed

Stress is normal, but if it never seems to switch off — whether from work, studies, or family — therapy can help you learn coping tools and healthier ways to manage pressure.

2. Sleep Isn’t What It Used to Be

Struggling to fall asleep, waking up at night, or feeling drained despite 8 hours? Therapists often uncover hidden stress or anxiety that impacts rest.

3. You’re Snappy or Irritable for ‘No Reason’

Therapy helps unpack what’s underneath.

4. You Rely on Numbing Habits

Turning to food, alcohol, scrolling, or overworking to escape emotions can feel normal — but it’s often a signal you could use healthier tools.

5. Motivation Feels Low

If you’re dragging yourself through the day, struggling to focus, or losing interest in things you used to enjoy, therapy can help reconnect you to purpose

6. Relationships Feel Stuck

Repeating arguments, difficulty expressing yourself, or feeling misunderstood? A therapist provides a safe, neutral space to break patterns.

7. You’re Going Through Change

Life transitions — new job, moving, separation, becoming a parent — are stressful, even when positive. Therapy helps you navigate with clarity.

8. You Struggle to Set Boundaries

If saying “no” feels impossible or you often feel drained by others, counselling can help you build confidence and healthier relationships

9. You Feel ‘Fine’ but Flat

Sometimes it’s not sadness or anxiety, but a lack of excitement. Therapy can uncover why you feel stuck and help you find more joy.

10. You Simply Want to Grow

Therapy isn’t just for problems. Many people use it to learn more about themselves, improve communication, and strengthen emotional resilience.
