Question 1

What is therapy?

Accepted Answer

Simply put, therapy involves a confidential collaboration between you and the therapist to address mental health issues, tackle challenges that affect your wellbeing, learn effective coping strategies, and enhance self-awareness and self-compassion.

Question 2

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Accepted Answer

Therapy can be beneficial for individuals experiencing a range of concerns, from stress and anxiety to relationship issues and life transitions. If you're struggling to cope with emotions or find it difficult to navigate certain situations on your own, therapy may be worth considering.

Question 3

How is counselling or therapy different from getting advice from my friends?

Accepted Answer

In counselling or therapy, advice isn't given unless it's an emergency/crisis. Unlike well-meaning friends, therapists guide, ask questions, and assess options differently. Therapists focus on understanding how clients perceive their situation and what has affected them. Therapists help clients make sense of their situations and collaboratively work through presenting concerns to reach the goal/s set for and during therapy.

How many sessions would I need to start feeling better?

Accepted Answer

Therapy is a well-paced out process. The total number of sessions you might need varies based on your concerns, the goals you’ve set with your therapist, and the therapeutic approach adopted.

Question 8

What if I'm feeling nervous or hesitant about starting therapy?

Accepted Answer

It's perfectly normal to feel nervous or hesitant about starting therapy.  It's a brave step, and we recognise the courage it takes to reach out for help.  We are here to provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore your concerns and work towards your goals.

Question 9

How will I know if therapy is working for me?

Accepted Answer

You will know therapy is working for you when you begin to experience positive changes in your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, or relationships. Your therapist will also periodically assess progress with you and adjust treatment as needed.

Question 10

Can I call or text my therapist after or between sessions in case of an emergency?

Accepted Answer

We do not provide chat-based therapy. Our therapists are unable to provide crisis counseling or offer support outside of scheduled appointments. This policy ensures professional boundaries and prevents the development of dependency.

Question 11

Is therapy confidential?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. What happens in therapy stays in therapy. However, there are exceptions, such as if you are a danger to yourself or others, or if there is a suspected case of child abuse or neglect.  Your therapist will discuss these exceptions in detail during the first session.

Question 12

What can I expect in the first session?

Accepted Answer

During your first therapy session, you can expect to discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, your personal history, and your goals for therapy. Your therapist will likely ask questions to better understand your concerns and begin to develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
