Is Therapy Worth It?

One of the questions we are often asked at My Practice is: Is therapy worth it? Research has found that counselling can help people achieve greater success in their personal and professional lives, including happier relationships, more fulfilling careers, and financial success. If you are stressed, depressed, having trouble sleeping, or generally feel that your mental health could improve, therapy is an investment worth making.

Our Story

We are motivated by a desire to provide you with solutions to life’s most difficult problems. What sets us apart from others in the field is our holistic counselling approach that extends beyond the therapy room. We provide resources, tools, and education to enhance understanding and self-awareness. We believe in empowering you with the knowledge and skills to solve any problem you may be facing.

The Hidden Mental Health Struggles of Entrepreneurs (And How to Manage Them)
Jonathan Riley
Entrepreneurship often seems like the ultimate dream: building something from the ground up, pursuing a passion, and creating a legacy. But beneath the surface lies a reality many entrepreneurs hesitate to talk about—the mental health struggles that come with the relentless pressures of running a business. While the journey can be rewarding, the emotional toll […]
Breaking Free from Imposter Syndrome as a Leader
Jonathan Riley
As business owners and leaders, we’re often our harshest critics. Despite our achievements, many of us feel like frauds, waiting for the moment someone will call us out. This is imposter syndrome—a persistent fear that we’re not as capable as others believe. It’s surprisingly common, but if left unchecked, it can hold us back from […]
How Stress Can Undermine Your Performance (And How to Take Control)
Jonathan Riley
Stress comes with the territory for business owners and corporate executives. Deadlines, high expectations, and constant problem-solving can weigh us down. But how do we know when stress is no longer just a part of the job and starts affecting our performance? Ignoring the signs can lead to mistakes, poor decisions, and eventually burnout. Let’s […]
Why High Performers Face Burnout (and How to Stop It)
Jonathan Riley
As business owners and corporate executives, we push ourselves hard to succeed. We set high standards, chase ambitious goals, and often operate at full capacity for long stretches. While this drive can lead to success, it also puts us at a higher risk for burnout. This isn’t just about feeling tired; burnout can impact our […]
Why Burnout is a Leadership Crisis
Jonathan Riley
Burnout isn’t just a personal issue—it’s a leadership crisis that can undermine entire organisations. When leaders face burnout, their capacity to think clearly, make sound decisions, and inspire their teams diminishes. Even worse, burnout can hurt employees, lower productivity, and damage the workplace culture. Yet, leader burnout is often ignored or seen as just part […]
The Leadership Mental Health Crisis
Jonathan Riley
Leadership comes with immense responsibility, but often, the hidden price of this role is the toll it takes on mental health. Many leaders push through stress, sleepless nights, and overwhelming pressure, thinking it’s just part of the job. What’s rarely discussed is how mental health directly influences decision-making, sometimes in ways we don’t even realise. […]
How Diet Affects Depression
Jonathan Riley
Depression is a heavy burden that many of us carry, often feeling like an invisible weight pressing down on our spirits. While there are many factors that contribute to depression, one aspect that is often overlooked is the impact of our diet. What we eat can significantly affect our mental health, sometimes in surprising ways. […]
The Science of Exercise for Depression
Jonathan Riley
When we talk about depression, we usually think of therapy and medication as the main treatments. While these are important, there’s another powerful and natural tool we all have: exercise. Let’s see how staying active can play a key role in helping us fight depression. Even a little movement each day can lift our mood […]
Do Antidepressants Work?
Jonathan Riley
When we think about depression, one of the first things that often comes to mind is antidepressant medication. For many of us, antidepressants seem like a straightforward answer to a difficult problem. We hear stories about people who take medication and feel better, and it can be tempting to think that a pill might be […]
The Long-Term Effects of Untreated Depression
Jonathan Riley
Depression can feel like a heavy fog that settles over our lives, making everything seem a little more difficult, slower, or less important. Many of us might think we can push through it or wait for it to lift on its own, hoping that things will eventually get better. However, when depression goes untreated, the […]

    Do I Need Therapy?

    Life is full of ups and downs, problems and challenges. It’s common to wonder if you actually need therapy. Admitting that you need help and reaching out can help you get back on track. Going to therapy isn’t a sign of weakness or something to be ashamed of. It’s also important to understand that you don’t need to have a diagnosed mental health condition in order to benefit from therapy.
