'I could outsmart you!' Kate Winslet reveals she turned her back on therapy as she believed she was more intelligent than her counsellor as she poses for new shoot
Kate Winslet has revealed she tried therapy once but quickly realised it wasn't for her.
In an interview with The EDIT by Net-a-Porter, the 39-year-old said: 'I tried therapy once and thought, "Oh God, I could outsmart you, goodbye." So I won't bother with that again.'
The actress says she wants to challenge herself before hitting the big 4-0 and wants to push herself to the limit.
No thank-you! Kate Winslet has revealed she tried therapy once but quickly realised it wasn't for her as she poses for a new high-end shoot for The EDIT for Net-A-Porter magazine
Make this Chloe pussy bow blouse a wardrobe staple for Fall
Net-A-Porter's online magazine, The Edit, has featured a slew of A-list actresses and top models, and now it's Kate Winslet's turn to take the cover.
The Titanic star donned a number of stunning designer looks, but it was this Chloe blouse we're really after.
Made of elegant silk with a ruffled collar and contrast neck tie, this piece can be worn alone with a pencil skirt or tailored trousers, or layered under a sweater or sheath dress.
At $995, the ivory hued number makes a pretty big investment. But since a button down shirt is a wardrobe staple, that makes it a worthy purchase. Click right to buy it at Net-A-Porter.
Or forgo the designer price tag and get the look for way less at Joseph, Nasty Gal, Cynthia Steffe and Charlotte Russe.
'I feel like the past two years have been different for me, deliberately so,' she told the publication.
'I really wanted to mix it up a bit and feel that I was going full pelt towards 40 having done as much as I could: pushed myself, challenged myself, exhausted myself, had as much fun as possible.
'The last two years of my life have put a different sort of rocket fuel up my backside.'
She said: 'I’m baffled that anyone might not think women get more beautiful as they get older. Confidence comes with age, and looking beautiful comes from the confidence someone has in themselves.'
Posing in an Emilio Pucci lace dress, she added: 'I tried therapy once and thought, "Oh God, I could outsmart you, goodbye." So I won't bother with that again'
The star smoulders in an accompanying photoshoot for the magazine in which she models designer clothing which can all be purchased from the online store.
Kate also credits an eye-opening dream she had when she was younger which changed her outlook forever.
'The night before my 30th birthday, I had an extraordinary dream. In the dream, I walked into my old classroom at school,' she said.
Talking about becoming 40 she said: 'The last two years of my life have put a different sort of rocket fuel up my backside'
'And in the classroom were all of my classmates and me. I got to have a conversation with myself, and it was so real, so clear.

I said to myself then: "Just be yourself and make the most of every day.’ I really remember saying it and I’d say the same thing now to that younger version of myself."'
Kate also reveals that her 14-year-old daughter Mia, would like to follow in her footsteps and become an actress as well.
'I’ve always had boundaries,' she said. 'I’ve never felt exploited, (but I got) very, very lucky.
'The first job I did [Heavenly Creatures, directed by Peter Jackson] was very prestigious, which helped me professionally but also in terms of how other people perceived my personal integrity.
'It made a huge difference; I walked right into luvvie central and was welcomed with open arms….
'But if you let a child of 14, which Mia is, just go into that world with no support or explanation of what that world is – who these people are, what they do – they’re just wandering blindly.
'So my only real concern is that I would want to make sure she is learning things in the right order and being respectful of people around her.'
