Pondering the option of seeing a therapist, Minogue continues: “There’s enough discussion in my head. I probably would benefit from [counselling] but I don’t really like it…”

The singer says she also practises gratitude: “They say that the fast track to happiness is gratitude and it’s true, just think that thought.”

Minogue is set to release her fourteenth studio album, Golden, next month. It’s a work that was put together as her relationship with fiancé, British actor Joshua Sasse, ended last year - but Minogue says the songs aren’t coloured by what she was going through at the time.

“I’m not writing from a place of heartbreak,” she says. “I was a bit broken, I wasn’t feeling very strong at a certain point, and we’ve all been there, we know what that’s like. But I tend to bounce back pretty quickly, I’m pragmatic about stuff. It’s looking rationally, with heart, with humour, to where I’m at…”

Minogue is the latest in a ream of celebrities who’ve opened up about their battles with anxiety in recent years. Ellie Goulding, Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone are just a few other famous names who’ve spoken frankly about their experiences of the condition, in an effort to smash the stigma that lingers over mental health issues.
