Are you or your family struggling with sleep? Feeling like you’ve tried everything but still can’t get the sleep you need? Maybe you’re struggling to get out of bed in the morning. Or perhaps getting your teen to sleep is a nightly battle. It can be frustrating and exhausting when you or a member of your family aren’t sleeping. And when one family member isn’t sleeping well, the rest of the family usually aren’t sleeping well either. Relationships can become strained, work or school performance can suffer, and it can feel really isolating. Without good sleep it can feel like everything is falling apart.

Perhaps you are struggling with depression, anxiety or unmanageable feelings? Maybe you have difficulties in relationships or at work, or are processing a loss or bereavement.

We all want happiness. Yet, more and more of us are suffering. In life, there are many things that is beyond our control. However, there are also things that we can do but we didn’t know how. We continue to suffer in our struggles. We tend to take the easier way out – by avoiding it. Thinking that it will go away. While that give us temporary relieve, it also accumulates loads of stress, anxiety and fear. If you are still stuck in a situation, after trying everything you can to overcome it, and it is affecting your mental wellbeing, social engagement, both your personal and professional life, let’s have a talk.

ADHD, sex addictions and shame have an impact on your quality of life. Despite overachieving at work, you are unable to appreciate your success. You are anticipating the next screw-up. You are waiting for others to criticise you. You wonder why you can't feel inner joy like others. Dealing with your self-doubt and low self-esteem is tiring. To cope, you put on a 'I'm fine' mask. Hoping that others will believe in you and begin to trust you Even when they do, you will feel hollow on the inside because they do not know the true you. If they don't, you feel even worse about yourself. This is a lose-lose situation in either case.

Are you experiencing stress adjusting to various life changes? Have you been struggling with intense emotions that have affected your self-esteem and relationships? You might be stuck and think that your situation is complex; you do not want to worry your family and you hesitate to share your issues with your friends and colleagues.

If you’ve been feeling emotionally tired, like you're always "on" or trying to hold everything together, you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate it all on your own. You might be managing a recent diagnosis, moving through a life transition, or simply looking for a space where you don’t have to mask or explain yourself. Therapy doesn’t have to be about fixing what’s broken—it can be about reconnecting with yourself, understanding your patterns, and creating space for change on your terms.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
