You don’t need to be in crisis to seek therapy. Sometimes you’re overwhelmed, stuck in familiar patterns, or simply know that something needs to change. Individual therapy gives you a private, supportive space to understand what you’re experiencing and find a way forward.
There isn't a threshold you need to cross. If something is affecting your wellbeing, relationships or everyday life — or you'd simply like to understand yourself better — therapy may be worth exploring.
That's completely fine. You don't need to arrive with a prepared story or know where to begin. Your therapist can help you explore what feels important.
Therapy is confidential, with limited exceptions relating to safety and legal or professional obligations. Your therapist will explain confidentiality clearly when you begin.
There's no predetermined number of sessions. Some people come with a specific issue they want to work through, while others find longer-term therapy more helpful.
Usually, therapy isn't about giving instructions or making decisions for you. Your therapist helps you understand your situation, consider different perspectives and make choices that feel right for you.
Talking about difficult experiences and emotions can sometimes feel uncomfortable. You can tell your therapist when something feels difficult, and the work should move at a pace you can manage.
Yes. Therapy is your choice. Ideally, ending therapy is something you and your therapist can discuss together so you can reflect on the work you've done.
