Maybe you feel guilty or embarrassed that what you are going through isn’t as bad as other people’s experiences. Or that your therapist is silently thinking to themselves something like: “this person’s problems aren’t real problems…”? (we’re not.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/1738948471932-4EGESMFJUBQAQS2HIRK9/unsplash-image-5y1rtaIKBj0.jpg blog - Are my problems ‘bad enough’ for therapy? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/1738449027422-KRRT9U33TTRXS93RJYL4/unsplash-image-jS4UNRCMqUk.jpg blog - Are my problems ‘bad enough’ for therapy? Hopefully this post has given you a fresh perspective on therapy, and on how it really can help with whatever is going on in your life right now. One of the wonderful things about therapy is that as well as tackling challenges head-on when life pulls the rug from under you, it provides preventative self-care: helping to manage stresses before they build up, and helping you to learn more about yourself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/ca33534f-cbaf-4b2a-937c-be1656146b08/Pink+Grey+Feminine+Branding+Agency+Promo+Instagram+Post+%282%29.jpg blog - Are my problems ‘bad enough’ for therapy? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.mandalacounselling.co.uk/blog/do-i-need-to-come-to-therapy-every-week monthly 0.5 2024-12-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/fcc70ec2-1c9c-402e-9401-c43751df9c19/image-asset.jpg blog - Do I need to come to therapy every week? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/ca33534f-cbaf-4b2a-937c-be1656146b08/Pink+Grey+Feminine+Branding+Agency+Promo+Instagram+Post+%282%29.jpg blog - Do I need to come to therapy every week? https://www.mandalacounselling.co.uk/blog/is-it-normal-to-feel-anxious-about-going-to-therapy monthly 0.5 2024-12-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/1719138614512-4FBSFO8KXOTNPTJQNNYG/image-asset.jpeg blog - Is it normal to feel anxious about going to therapy? It is very normal, and incredibly common, to feel anxious about going to, or during, your therapy appointment. This can be the case whether you are about to begin counselling for the first time, are starting over with a new therapist, or have been working with a counsellor for a while. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/87ff0e35-2907-424b-a7af-7efc32e43a4d/Pink+Grey+Feminine+Branding+Agency+Promo+Instagram+Post+%281%29.png blog - Is it normal to feel anxious about going to therapy? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.mandalacounselling.co.uk/blog/writing-a-journal-how-it-can-help-to-support-your-experience-of-therapy monthly 0.5 2024-12-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/1712506503866-MAFMZBWAW58968C071KH/image-asset.jpeg blog - Writing a Journal: how it can help support your experience of therapy - Many clients ask if there are any practical things that they can do, alongside coming to counselling, to support their self development. I often recommend the practice of keeping a self-reflective journal: all you need is a notebook and pen (or computer), and - like counselling - it offers a completely private and personal space to explore your thoughts and feelings. Here are just some of the benefits that journal writing can have, including being a means of continuing the self-reflective work of therapy: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/ca33534f-cbaf-4b2a-937c-be1656146b08/Pink+Grey+Feminine+Branding+Agency+Promo+Instagram+Post+%282%29.jpg blog - Writing a Journal: how it can help support your experience of therapy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.mandalacounselling.co.uk/blog/is-counselling-right-for-me monthly 0.5 2024-06-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/1704294048374-PRKGT35ONEMN739QNZUV/image-asset.jpeg blog - Is Counselling Right for Me? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/d66c160f-41e1-4bc5-9baa-aa9ec2834bfa/image-asset.jpg blog - Is Counselling Right for Me? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/7d686d1c-cd85-4327-9078-fdbc6c0decf3/Pink+Grey+Feminine+Branding+Agency+Promo+Instagram+Post+%281%29.jpg blog - Is Counselling Right for Me? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.mandalacounselling.co.uk/blog/category/Self-Care monthly 0.5 https://www.mandalacounselling.co.uk/blog/category/Personal+Development monthly 0.5 https://www.mandalacounselling.co.uk/blog/category/Social+Media monthly 0.5 https://www.mandalacounselling.co.uk/blog/category/Men%27s+mental+health monthly 0.5 https://www.mandalacounselling.co.uk/blog/category/About+Counselling monthly 0.5 https://www.mandalacounselling.co.uk/blog/category/Anxiety monthly 0.5 https://www.mandalacounselling.co.uk/blog/category/Self-development monthly 0.5 https://www.mandalacounselling.co.uk/blog/tag/Beauty monthly 0.5 https://www.mandalacounselling.co.uk/blog/tag/Skin monthly 0.5 https://www.mandalacounselling.co.uk/blog/tag/Snack monthly 0.5 https://www.mandalacounselling.co.uk/blog/tag/Spring monthly 0.5 https://www.mandalacounselling.co.uk/home daily 1.0 2026-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/1737029001517-TYJBGSH254CMILB7BNWS/unsplash-image-CoykYnIunUg.jpg counselling & psychotherapy with Rebecca https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/1737029978615-IGVX8818QIZQGJ77FTNO/unsplash-image-5NE6mX0WVfQ.jpg counselling & psychotherapy with Rebecca https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/1737030158401-C1ED5KEPPIZVUNU7PD11/unsplash-image-KZNTEn2r6tw.jpg counselling & psychotherapy with Rebecca https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/1737030259186-7VWH3WPMV8Z54ZOS41K9/unsplash-image-sp-p7uuT0tw.jpg counselling & psychotherapy with Rebecca https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/469a6e2e-3352-4753-8151-fd6d6ae18791/IMG_1648.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/a8968682-697c-402e-9523-cb9d47b720e5/BACP+Logo+-+402063.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/7e8d7144-85cf-413c-863b-f9036720db29/turquoise+room.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/a8968682-697c-402e-9523-cb9d47b720e5/BACP+Logo+-+402063.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/a8968682-697c-402e-9523-cb9d47b720e5/BACP+Logo+-+402063.png https://www.mandalacounselling.co.uk/about daily 0.75 2026-01-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/1758981671440-MZ552TDX7TBSCJZ1G3IM/unsplash-image-49uySSA678U.jpg Therapist in Cardiff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/1758981174340-0HQN6MLH31MM1GOUOHDK/unsplash-image-jS4UNRCMqUk.jpg Therapist in Cardiff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/1739021687867-IGXT5MIP5HEMHDA5XVKH/unsplash-image-aZ0UCp12Bv0.jpg Therapist in Cardiff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/1758981728532-78P3UML6JA5RJGQDHMEV/unsplash-image-UhQMdwmKeV4.jpg Therapist in Cardiff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/0fee41ff-d1e1-451d-bceb-1366275bbb87/a5a49c6f-dfda-4bc1-a11c-27c28b0be8a7+Copy+%281%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/b836ccf5-8a58-436e-8305-f360816a1390/IMG_1786.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/658c248038e6e46d80096caf/a8968682-697c-402e-9523-cb9d47b720e5/BACP+Logo+-+402063.png https://www.mandalacounselling.co.uk/contact daily 0.75 2025-10-28 https://www.mandalacounselling.co.uk/resources daily 0.75 2025-09-15
