Are you going through something now that you never thought you would have to deal with, or experiencing unwanted thoughts and feelings that are impacting your everyday life?
If this sounds familiar then talking therapy could be part of the process that gets you back to where you want to be.
Having a place to talk and explore difficult subjects can be very hard to find within the many roles that you perform each week. Talking therapy can be a place to focus on the person behind the masks that we wear, to gain insight and clarity into things that feel overwhelming.
There is a general sense that it has never been more difficult to escape the anxiety of being a young person. Things like social media, exams, academic life, friendships/relationships and gaming all bring a pressure that you may not feel is understood by those around you. Counselling could be the place that your voice and experience of life feels heard.
The mental health impact on a persons enjoyment and participation in sport cannot be underestimated. Small children will run, kick, throw, jump just for the fun of it and yet as you progress, the outcome of what you do may become the only reason you compete. Talking therapy may offer you a space away from the sport to face some of the issues you are going through.
