Individual therapy can be helpful for those struggling with various mental health issues. Therapy may consist of helping people become aware of how coping strategies that were once useful may be impeding them from living healthy and fulfilling lives or from developing and maintaining stable and meaningful relationships. Individual therapy also can help people develop the skills necessary to manage their emotions in healthier ways so they can handle life’s demands and daily stressors.  Through therapy, many clients can improve their capacity to reflect upon certain behaviours and thoughts that perpetuate negative self-image and learn to cultivate more self-compassion.
