Contacting your GP is a great first place to start when looking for help. They will be able to assess both your emotional and physical health needs, and what combination of treatment and support you might benefit from.

We really recommend speaking to someone about what you are experiencing or have experienced. Whether you consider it to be something small or big, it is so valuable to discuss and unpack it with a trained counsellor.
