Someone should consider seeking psychological support when they’re experiencing emotional, mental, or behavioural difficulties that interfere with their daily life, relationships, or overall well-being. Here are some common signs and situations where psychological support can be helpful:

• Emotional and mental health concerns

• Cognitive and behavioural changes

• Relationship or social difficulties

• Life transitions or stressors

• Self-exploration and growth

Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Everyone deserves support when facing difficult times.
