Types of therapy depend on a lot of things and they will all be discussed in your free one-hour consultation. You and our practitioner will come up with a plan together.

Psychology is not the same as psychotherapy and therapy. Psychotherapy is the same as therapy.

Psychology is more about finding out what’s going on, including any useful diagnosis, so we can plan the way forward on a wider scale.

Psychotherapy/therapy is what we do in the room, on a weekly basis, making small steps together. 

There are two answers to this. First, you are absolutely welcome to request another of our therapists if you feel it’s not a good fit. Second, it’s completely normal to feel strong negative emotions, even frustration or dislike, toward your therapist — this is often a natural and important part of the therapeutic process. Working through these feelings, rather than walking away can actually be very beneficial to your recovery.

We aim to create a space where you can talk to your therapist on a regular basis about how you are feeling about the therapeutic approach. Additionally, regular reviews give you the opportunity to make clear if it’s really not working for you and explore alternatives.

It’s also important to know that therapy isn’t always easy, and most approaches are likely to bring up some difficult images, thoughts, or emotions, whichever type of therapy you choose.
