Today is World Mental Health Day.
A mental health charity reports an increase in the demand for services coming up to the Christmas period every year.
Today is World Mental Health Day and October marks Mental Health Awareness Month.
Tullamore's Fiona O' Malley is the CEO of the charity, Turn2Me, and says therapy can be used as a tool for personal growth and it doesn't have to be only when a person is in distress.
Ms O'Malley says many people tell her they wish they had started therapy years ago:
