Finding the Right Therapist

A good therapeutic relationship provides a safe, confidential and reparative space for deep reflection, self-awareness, insight, clarity, new ways of thinking and emotional resilience. Here are some tips to consider when looking for a counsellor or psychotherapist.

➤Qualification, training and experience

➤Warm, empathetic & non-judgemental
➤Culture competence and ability to work with different backgrounds
