Let's Talk Therapy: NHS vs Private

It is no secret that I have been struggling on and off with my mental health for quite a long time. In that time I have been in an out of therapy; counseling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and various types of private therapy. It's time to talk about those types of therapies, what worked for me and what didn't, and answering that big question a lot of people seem to have: NHS therapy or Private therapy, which is better?

We are currently going through an immensely anxiety provoking time. We are surrounded by uncertainty, stuck in our houses, bombarded by the news and left unsure with what to do with ourselves. I am the first to say that some nights I am left awake, nauseous with the weight of the world. Other nights my brain physically hurts as it spirals with thoughts.

I've wanted to write for a while, but whenever I do I feel I have nothing important or worthwhile to say. Symptom one of depression: loss of enjoyment for the things you once loved.
