I have decided after seven years without one (last one was at school when I was a kid) I want a therapist again. I won't be too negative here, but I'm not really enjoying life. I have a lot to vent about, a lot of insecurities and traumas. I've looked locally on Psychologytoday, but found very little even with a 30 mile or so radius (live in Northern England). I'm curious if anyone here is also looking into therapy or is in therapy on if they have any tips on what to look out for and what to ask for.
Also, glad to be on here. Hoping to make some friends here, it's always nice to meet new people and hear their stories.

Have you considered trying having sessions online through a zoom call.
That is what I do with mine - she in in Canada and I'm in Brazil so it sorted the distance issue out. A pair of headphones and a laptop is pretty much all you need and you can do it anywhere with an internet connection and some privacy.
I use my mobile phone hot spot for connection and that works fine for the meeting.
Didn't really want to be honest, but it's looking progressively more like an option.
Sex, drugs and rock n roll is the only therapy you need bruv ........zoom pfft
