Self-help books

There are many self-help books available, either through your library or online, and lots of them are interactive or include step-by-step guides.
Here are some books that other students have found helpful whilst waiting for counselling or have used to complement their counselling:

'Beating the blues before they beat you. How to overcome depression' by Robert Leahy
'Overcoming Social Anxiety and Shyness' by Gillian Butler
'The Worry Cure: Stop worrying and start living' by Robert Leahy
'Overcoming Low Self-Esteem' by Melanie Fennell

Where appropriate your counsellor may talk to you about self-help resources at your initial consultation. In many cases, self-help books are not a replacement for other professional treatment such as counselling, but you may find them empowering and a useful addition to any help you are receiving.
