It can take a lot of courage to make that first step to seek support from a therapist. Many people coming for therapy have questions about what it is, how it works and whether it is for them.

Particularly in these last few years as some of the taboos around mental health are being broken down, and as many more people are wanting support it is leaving many asking questions about therapy.

In this helpful video from the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) of  some of these questions are addressed by some current therapists.
Questions include:

What is therapy?
There are so many different therapies out there, how do I know where to start?
Who would benefit from therapy?
What can you expect the first time you come for therapy?
What does it usually cost?
