Welcome to CounsellingResource Extras!
Our main site at CounsellingResource.com provides psychological self-tests and quizzes, information on common mental health medications, an extensive guide to symptoms, resources for practitioners seeking clinical supervision or professional development, and even suggestions on online therapy. But some of the additional trustworthy mental health reference materials which we identify and collate from government agencies and academia get collected here, where they can provide some additional background.
