Summary
As much as I've talked about having therapy on this podcast I've never explained how to find a therapist or the resources available to find out what therapy is available to you, where to find it and the different types of therapy available.
In this episode I share information that I hope is useful to anyone who thinks therapy might be a good resource for them but doesn't know where to start.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, hi and welcome to another episode of the Emma Gunn Show. It's me, Emma Gunn Awardner. I'm delighted, delighted to have you with me. |
| 0:14.0 | This is another episode in the Apoda Day in May series. I hope that you are enjoying it so far. |
| 0:19.0 | And this episode is directly in response to a couple of listener emails talking about therapy and in |
| 0:26.8 | particular how to find a therapist. Now this comes from a couple of messages |
| 0:32.2 | in particular quite recently actually, |
| 0:34.0 | although it is a message that I get quite a lot because I've talked about my own therapy |
| 0:38.4 | experiences both here and over on the YouTube channel and I also did an episode quite a while ago probably |
| 0:43.9 | about two years ago where I talked about what therapy feels like, what it felt like for me. |
| 0:49.7 | And I'll put those links in the show notes. |
| 0:52.1 | But the messages came through saying, I've listened to your |
| 0:56.2 | show, I've listened to other people, I feel that actually I would benefit from therapy, but I don't know where to to start I don't know how to find a therapist can you maybe give some pointers |
| 1:08.1 | So that's what I'm going to try to do in this episode my personal experience of finding a therapist was in the UK, so as well as links to useful resources, |

| 1:18.0 | And then in order to hopefully help the international audience, I am going to ask you if you are listening to this episode |
| 1:24.8 | and you're not in the UK, if you're in the US, if you're in China, if you're in Australia, if you're anywhere in Europe, |
| 1:29.4 | and you have any useful resource links, please do email them to the Beauty Podcast at dot com so I can add them to the show notes. |
| 1:35.0 | I will be putting some of the international links that I can find |
| 1:40.0 | but obviously somebody who's better than my Google searching. |
| 1:49.0 | I also want to preface this by saying that and I have said this before on the |
| 1:54.9 | podcast I was really lucky the therapist that I saw when I essentially had a |
| 2:00.6 | breakdown was a great fit and I we went on to have what felt like a really |
| 2:06.7 | profound experience in the 14 or so months that we worked together and I felt that I made so much progress and I do yeah that's not put at that thread that |
