“Despite having a Psychology degree and understanding the benefits of therapy, seeking help still required courage and vulnerability. This experience taught me the importance of prioritising mental health and removing the stigma around therapy,” she says. “My journey through therapy and recovery has given me a unique perspective on mental health and wellness. I am passionate about spreading the message that seeking therapy and working on one’s mental health is a sign of strength, not weakness. By sharing my story, I hope to inspire others to prioritise their mental health and embrace their journey toward healing and self-discovery.”
