Lily Allen talks about having therapy

55th Ivor Novello Awards - Press room

Singer admits to getting professional help when she’s feeling low.

Lily has always been known to brutally honest about her life, and now she’s spoken out about not always being able to cope. It’s refreshing to hear a celebrity talk about getting help – even the rich and famous need someone to talk to!

She spoke on ‘Lily Allen…In Confidence’ on SkyArts1: ‘I work with a therapist on a regular basis. I’m quite capable of noticing when I’m taking a turn for the worse.

‘Then I decide not to come to work for the next month, and I take time to concentrate on myself. I had to do that in January 2008 after my miscarriage.’

Lily then revealed, ‘I haven’t had to call my therapist recently.

‘But if I felt there were repetitive negative thoughts going around in my head, I’ve had enough mental history to know to call someone for help.

‘If the negative thoughts are about me, then it gets a bit more serious.’

Aww Lily, we’re just glad you have someone to help you out!
