When should you see a therapist?متى يجب أن تزور معالجاً؟

It's not about how "bad" things are

You don't need to be in crisis to see a therapist. Many people come simply because something feels off, stuck, or heavier than usual. Therapy is for support and growth — not only for emergencies.

Signs it might help

• You've felt down, anxious, or numb for more than a couple of weeks
• Your sleep, appetite, or energy have changed
• Worry or low mood is getting in the way of work, study, or relationships
• You're leaning on habits (scrolling, food, alcohol) to cope more than you'd like
• People close to you have noticed a change

What therapy actually looks like

A therapist listens without judgement and helps you understand what you're feeling and why. Together you build practical tools — for your thoughts, your reactions, and your relationships. It's a private, collaborative space that moves at your pace.

Taking the first step

Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness. If you're unsure, you can start with a single session and see how it feels. And if you ever feel unsafe or in crisis, please use "I need help now" for immediate support.
