The 'As Long As You Love Me' hitmaker is reportedly undergoing counselling to get to the root of some personal issues and to help him "figure out his next chapter".

A source told People magazine: "His emotions are raw, but he knows that his counselling - however painful - is what he needs as he moves forward with his life."

Justin had previously opened up about how becoming so famous at such a young age had a negative effect on his mental health, and also admitted he finds it "hard" to trust people including his now-wife Hailey.

"One of the big things for me is trusting myself. I've made some bad decisions personally, and in relationships. Those mistakes have affected my confidence in my judgment. It's been difficult for me even to trust Hailey. We've been working through stuff. And it's great, right?"
