Therapy Options
Thinking about therapy?
The Pivotal Recovery course is a strong standalone option and for many, it’s enough. If therapy isn’t accessible to you right now, whether due to cost, time, or personal preference, it’s important to know that meaningful change is still possible through the course alone.
But if you’ve found your way to this page, you might be wondering whether it’s time to go beyond self-help resources like Pivotal Recovery. Maybe you’ve already started the course and want to supplement it with professional support or perhaps you’re drawn to a more personalised approach from the start. Whatever brings you here, therapy and counselling can offer guidance, clarity, and accountability.
Below are trusted options that we recommend:
