Loneliness and Finding the Right Kind of Therapy for You | Nigel Polak

40% of Australians feel lonely at any given time and loneliness is linked to higher risks of depression, cognitive decline, a weakened immune system, and even premature death. If you’ve ever felt lonely, this episode will help you make sense of it. We break down what loneliness really is and practical ways to address it.

My guest, Nigel Polak, President of the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia, talks through the differences between counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists and psychiatrists, how they compare, and how to choose the right fit for you. We also cover things to be wary when looking into online coaching.
