Frequently asked questions

• What can I expect from the first session of individual therapy?

  During your first session, the therapist will focus on gathering information about your physical, mental, and emotional health, as well as discussing the concerns that brought you to therapy. It's an opportunity for both you and the therapist to decide if there's a good fit in terms of therapeutic styles and approaches. The initial sessions are crucial for setting the direction of future therapy, including discussing treatment goals and how therapy might progress. Remember, it's normal to feel a range of emotions during these sessions, and therapists are skilled at helping you become comfortable with the process.

• Can individual therapy help me even if I'm not in a crisis?

  Yes, individual therapy is not only for those in acute crisis. It can be beneficial for anyone experiencing dissatisfaction with life, seeking personal growth, or facing challenges in managing emotions and behaviors. Therapy offers a space for exploring your thoughts and feelings, understanding patterns that might be holding you back, and developing strategies for change. It's a proactive step towards self-care and improving your overall well-being, regardless of the severity of your issues.

• Is online therapy effective?

  Research has demonstrated that online therapy can be as effective as face-to-face therapy. A study by the University of Zurich showed that patients undergoing online therapy for depression reported significant improvements, comparable to those receiving conventional therapy. Online therapy provides convenience, confidentiality, and accessibility, making it a suitable option for many, including individuals in remote areas, those with busy schedules, or people who prefer the anonymity it offer.
