Client Resources
The bulk of CounsellingResource.com is devoted to client resources.
With information on the benefits of counselling, how to find a counsellor, and question to consider when selecting a counsellor, this section of the site provides a valuable guide for anyone considering counselling or psychotherapy. The latest addition is a US therapist directory, brought to you in partnership with Psychology Today magazine.

While primarily a free public resource, CounsellingResource.com also acts as the 'home base' for Dr Mulhauser's small private practice offering both online therapy and face-to-face counselling services.

Recognizing that many clients receive diagnoses from psychologists, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals, without always receiving clear information about what these diagnoses mean, these pages provide formal diagnostic criteria and additional background information on several of the most common categories of 'mental illness'. These include mood disorders and anxiety disorders (the most common), covering the symptoms of clinical depression as well as of other common forms of distress, such as manic depression, panic disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. Additional sections describe eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder, schizophrenic disorders, ADHD, and more.

Public-access discussion and support forums provide a place to discuss counselling and psychotherapy, reflect on personal experiences with therapy, or just blow off steam.
