Maybe you have tried CBT, mindfulness or counselling in the past but nothing seems to have worked. Perhaps you've been sat on an NHS waiting list for so long that you've had to find your own coping mechanisms. Or perhaps you've had a negative experience of therapy which has put you off the whole idea. Perhaps your GP has offered medication for your mental health which you're feeling hesitant about. Maybe you've tried that too with mixed results...

Daunting. You don't know where to start, which style to try, how long it might go on for. If it seems like a financial cost that you won't be able to sustain. If you can't imagine yourself bearing your soul to a stranger. You're worried that you might be humiliated or you just can't face talking about "it". 

A way of liberating yourself from anxiety which doesn't involve an open-ended time and money commitment. Guidance from someone who has openly been in your shoes. A way of understanding what's actually going on, not just coping mechanisms to "manage" it. A solution which doesn't require you to talk too much or say anything you don't feel comfortable with. To work with someone who continues to pursue their own creative dreams. To be able to talk freely to someone who really gets what you're going through. To understand yourself on a deep level and learn how to face your greatest fears with courage and confidence.
