A series of podcasts for people who are thinking about counselling, or who have started therapy. The series will cover topics such as: "How do I know this therapist is the right person for me?", "What factors contribute to low self-esteem and what can I do about it?", "How can I stop procrastinating and make a good decision?", "How can I reduce the stress I feel?", "How can I be more assertive in my relationships and say the difficult things I want to?"
The series is intended to be a prequel to and a supplement to therapy, not a substitute for it.
