Help and Support

This section provides information about some of the most common problems that people seek help and support for – these are arranged in the menu on the right.

Each page in our help and support area includes a run-down of each problem as well as the kind of professional support available.

Counselling

On every page, we include an explanation about the types of counselling and psychotherapy often used to address specific problems. You can also visit our section on counselling methods which includes more details of the various types of therapy available.

Charities/Specialist Organisations

Charities and specialist organisations also feature on each page and represent an alternative source of professional support. Some of these are included here as examples.

Alcoholics Anonymous UK

Anxiety UK

Macmillan

NSPCC

SANE
