A common question asked by those seeking therapy is, " I need help, but I don't know why?". There is no easy answer - humans are complex. But it is my belief that the true expert on you is yourself - you just might not know it. You may be questioning why you feel like you don't belong, why your relationships seem to fail, why you can't be honest with others or yourself, or what might happen if you say no - or yes - to people. Being able to understand how and why we've taken our particular journey through life is key to accepting ourselves and living the life we truly want.

Hello, my name is Tarn. Making the decision to undertake counselling is a big step and if it is for you, then I can provide a safe and confidential space for us to work together. Counselling is both a time and a space for you. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming and we are mostly able to cope, carry on and even strive at times. However, life can be testing and the emotional responses are often felt negatively as anxiety and/or fear, anger or sadness. Negative emotions are a natural response to unfamiliar or demanding experiences but these are big emotions that we do not want; can struggle to overcome and can impact upon daily life.

Psychosis Counsellors
What’s the most effective treatment for psychosis?
The most effective treatment for psychosis is coordinated specialty care. In this model, a team of professionals works with a patient to address all aspects of the underlying disorder. This approach incorporates individual or group therapy, employment and education support, family support and education, medication management (which often involves low doses of antipsychotics), and case management to facilitate problem-solving as needed.

When should people seek treatment for psychosis?
People should seek immediate treatment at the earliest indication of psychosis. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized or blocked speech, and agitated body movements. Early signs that a person may be developing a disorder that will lead to psychosis include suspiciousness of others, memory problems and distractibility, an inability to think clearly, rapid or nonsensical speech, withdrawal from friends or family, aggression toward others, and sensitivity to bright lights or noises.

What if psychosis is left untreated?
Without treatment, psychosis can have significant repercussions, including injuries, job loss, homelessness, financial or legal trouble, ruptured relationships, and suffering for the person and their family. While early treatment for psychosis often yields the best results, there is no point past which it becomes useless to seek treatment. At any point, treatment can make a difference.

How do I get someone else to seek treatment for psychosis?
It’s extremely difficult to watch a loved one suffer from hallucinations, delusions, and other elements of psychosis—sometimes exacerbated by their fears of treatment. Have a conversation with them in a quiet space and maintain a calm, supportive tone. Share your concerns about behaviors you’ve observed, suggest treatment, and explain the potential benefits. Listen carefully to their responses. The person may not be ready after one conversation, but with time, they may come around.
