What to expect from therapy?
Every therapeutic journey is unique. Based on your individual needs and the approach used by the therapist, sessions can be highly structured, incorporating exercises for you to practice between appointments, or they may take a more free-flowing approach, similar to traditional talk therapy where the session itself is used as an opportunity to reflect deeply and process your thoughts and emotions.
A key aspect of therapy is psychoeducation, where you gain valuable insights into the neurological, behavioral, and cognitive factors shaping your experiences. This knowledge empowers you to better understand yourself and apply practical strategies to enhance your overall quality of life.
Above all the therapeutic process prioritises creating a safe and non-judgmental space where your experience is heard and validated. This is called therapeutic alliance which is a key element to developing a strong sense of trust, respect, and understanding, in order to enhance your sense of ownership and control over the therapeutic process.
