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
➤Therapeutic approach and specialisation
➤Warm, empathetic & non-judgemental
➤Culture competence and ability to work with different backgrounds
➤Location (in-person or online therapy)
➤Cost, insurance coverage, concessions, sliding scale fees
➤Referrals from trusted sources or client testimonials
➤Commitment to ethical standards and confidentiality

» I strongly believe that therapy can be transformative and the client-therapist relationship plays an integral part, enabling self-discovery, healing, growth and change.
