What to Expect from Therapy
Therapy provides an opportunity to explore the issues and challenges that arise in day to day life and the factors that impact on the decisions we make. At first, you may feel a little nervous about the process, but this usually fades as your therapist helps you explore your concerns. No problem is too big or too small for you to bring to therapy.
Typically there is a balance between talking about your present day experiences, and addressing the roots of your concerns in your early upbringing. As you begin to experience a sense of trust and safety you may feel more able to share your thoughts and feelings about yourself with your therapist.
In the safety of the therapy room you may begin to discover alternative points of view and become aware of connections between different aspects of your experiences. The focus of therapy will be determined, in collaboration with your therapist, by the concerns and issues you bring to therapy.
Sessions take place at the centre and last approximately one hour. They usually take place on a weekly basis. Your therapist will discuss confidentiality, payment, duration, cancellation and attendance procedures with you.
