Faqs
Frequently asked questions
What to expect in your first therapy session?
Starting therapy can feel daunting, but your first session is simply a chance to get to know your therapist and explore what brings you to therapy. It’s usually a relaxed conversation where you can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable.
Your therapist may ask about your background, current challenges, and goals for therapy. They’ll explain how sessions work, discuss confidentiality, and answer any questions you have. There’s no pressure to have all the answers—this is your space to talk, reflect, and begin your journey at your own pace.
Most importantly, your first session is about seeing if you feel comfortable with your therapist. A good fit is key to meaningful progress. Take that first step—support is here when you’re ready.
How do I choose the right therapist for me?
Finding the right therapist is about more than just qualifications—it’s about feeling heard, understood, and supported. Start by considering what you need help with, whether it’s anxiety, relationships, trauma, or personal growth. Look for a therapist who specialises in those areas and whose approach resonates with you.
Practical factors matter too—do you prefer in-person or online sessions? A structured approach like CBT, or something more exploratory like psychodynamic therapy? Reading therapist profiles, checking reviews, and even having an initial conversation can help you gauge if they’re the right fit.
Most importantly, trust your instincts. A strong therapeutic relationship is key to meaningful progress, so choose someone you feel comfortable opening up to. The right therapist is out there—take your time and find the support that truly fits you.
How long does therapy take?
Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all—how long it takes depends on your goals, the challenges you’re facing, and the type of therapy you choose. Some people find short-term therapy (6–12 sessions) helpful for specific issues, while others benefit from ongoing support over months or years.
Your therapist will work with you to set realistic goals and regularly review your progress. The key is to go at a pace that feels right for you. Therapy is a journey, not a race—what matters most is finding the support you need for lasting change.
What types of therapy are available?
Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all—different approaches work for different people, depending on their needs, preferences, and challenges. Here are some of the most common types of therapy and how they can help:
1. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
A structured, short-term approach that helps identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours. CBT is highly effective for anxiety, depression, phobias, and stress-related issues.
2. Psychodynamic Therapy
Explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence your present thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. This type of therapy is often longer-term and helps with deep-seated emotional difficulties and self-understanding.
3. Person-Centred Therapy
A non-directive approach that provides a supportive, empathetic space to explore your feelings and experiences. It’s ideal for those seeking self-discovery, personal growth, or processing life challenges in a non-judgmental environment.
4. Couples Therapy & Relationship Counselling
Designed for couples looking to improve communication, rebuild trust, or resolve conflicts. Therapists may use approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) or The Gottman Method to strengthen relationships.
5. Trauma-Focused Therapy (Including EMDR)
For those who have experienced trauma, therapies like Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) or Trauma-Focused CBT help process and heal from distressing memories.
6. Integrative & Holistic Therapies
Many therapists use a mix of different approaches tailored to your needs. This might include elements of CBT, psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, or somatic (body-based) therapies.
7. Family Therapy
Helps families navigate conflicts, communication difficulties, or major life transitions together. It’s especially useful for improving relationships and creating a more supportive home environment.
There are many more types of therapy, each offering unique benefits. If you’re unsure which approach is right for you, speaking with a therapist can help guide your choice.
