Introduction to Therapy

What to look for in a therapist?

Choosing to engage in therapy or re-engage with a new therapist can be a daunting experience. However, it can be a lifechanging one, with benefits which stay with you both inside and outside of the consultation room.

Speaking to a stranger, about anything and everything that you may have been holding for week’s, months or even years is a scary prospect, but that in a nutshell is what therapy is. Our job is to encourage you to speak and to be heard.

We understand there are lots of us to choose from, so we’ve put together a list of what we believe are the main qualities of a good therapist.
