For some people, a therapist is definitely what you need. Especially if you have suffered severe trauma, feel suicidal and/or are struggling to engage in any type of recovery approach.
For many others, therapy does not feel right or is just not available. You might not be severe enough in need to access therapy, you might not want to wait many months to get therapy and/or you may not be able to afford private therapy.
GOGL is not an alternative to therapy, it is an alternative option for people who choose not to have therapy or don't need it - but do need something.
It is informed by the same approaches used by therapists - designed by a Clinical Psychologist. But does not have a person listening, supporting and challenging you. It does have different aspects though - it is private, flexible, easy to fit into life, taken at your own pace and very affordable.
If you are unsure and feel worried, speak to a professional - see our signposting page in the resource link at the top of our page.
GOGL can be used alongside therapy, if you discuss it with your therapist and they agree.
