Psychological

You are welcome to ask any questions during the assessment as well as comment on whether there is anything you do not like during your session. Your psychotherapist is open to feedback and wants you to feel comfortable. You are also welcomed to share what would you like to get out of your therapy.

Your psychotherapist will most likely ask questions that help a deeper understanding of your difficulties. You may choose not to answer or even respond. A psychotherapy session is a unique space where you can express yourself in any way you would like. There is no “weird” behaviour, situation, or thoughts. Your psychotherapist adopts a stance that assumes that there is always a reason for anything we think, do, or experience and with time this reason becomes apparent.

At the end of a session, your psychotherapist will make recommendations and suggest a treatment plan that will benefit you the most. If you feel or think that you would like to proceed with the treatment and your psychotherapist invites you to continue your treatment you can then book your next session. You may also take your time and contact (or not) your psychotherapist at a later stage.

It is recommended that you attend psychotherapy at least once a week to maintain progress. However, the frequency of therapy will depend on your individual circumstance, desire for progress, and complexity of difficulties. During the times of acute crisis, it is recommended to increase the frequency to daily sessions.
