Charli XCX is getting candid about her thoughts on therapy.
The 27-year-old singer explained that while she’s never been to see a therapist, she wants the stigma around it to change.
“I’m not anti-therapy at all. I’ve never been anti it, I think it’s brilliant and great and I think everybody should have it because it’s like going to the doctors. It’s like you go for a physical checkup and so you should do the same for your mental health,” Charli told Julie Adenuga on Beats 1 on Apple Music.
She continued, “But I feel like there is this stigma in the UK about, ‘Oh therapy, it’s a bit LA isn’t it?’ I really do think that. I think it’s less common here to be very open about it. I think there’s also a thought that only really rich people can get a therapist and I don’t think that’s the case. I’ve never done it before, just because it’s felt a bit alien to me, but I’ve never been anti it, I think I’ve just been nervous. Now I’m like, ‘Okay, I think I really want to do that.’”
Charli also recently opened up about mental state on her new album. Check out what she had to say.
