Mental health issues — especially among young people — are on the rise, but so are the number of people willing and able to talk. Therapy shouldn’t be the preserve of the wealthy or privileged – we want to show you how to do it within your own life and budget. That’s why we’ve launched The Therapy Edition, full of stories on how to seek help and embrace it once you do. The series maps out the current talking therapies available in the UK and hears from our readers who have been there, done them, and are finding the help they need.
