How To Find The Right Therapist

Finding the right therapist is a personal and sometimes challenging process, but with the right approach, it can be very rewarding.

Decide if you have a preference for the therapist's age, gender, sexual orientation and gender identity. Often, when finding a therapist, consider someone with a shared cultural background. Consider their Therapeutic Style: Some therapists are more directive, while others are more reflective. Think about which style suits you best. Choose a therapist whose office is conveniently located or consider online therapy options.

Seeing a private therapist can often been seen as a luxury. However, in the current unsettled and uncertain climate, now more than ever, having someone that is non-judgemental, that can provide alternate prospectives and assist you in finding the resources, skills and tools to feel more balanced and grounded. Check if the therapist accepts your insurance or if they offer sliding scale fees based on your income.

The client and therapist fit is the most significant factor contributing to successful therapy of any kind. It is normal to feel anxious in the first session when you encounter a stranger who you know you are there to open up to. To help combat this, usually most therapists offer a brief introduction chat to introduce themselves, how they work, allow you to ask questions, as well as briefly hear your story.

Questions to Ask

  • What is your approach to therapy?
  • How do you structure your sessions?
  • What is your experience with my specific issues?
  • What are your policies on confidentiality and emergencies?

Assess your comfort level with the therapist during the initial chat or session. It's important to feel safe and understood. Ensure you can be open and honest with your therapist. A good therapeutic relationship is built on trust. If you don't feel a connection or progress, it's okay to consider finding another therapist. Therapy is most effective when there is a good match between therapist and client.

Therapy is more than just dealing with past or present issues, and delves into self-exploration as well as well as self-improvement.  Whatever your reason for considering a therapist, coach, or other professional, you have an initial understanding that things may need to change in your life.  We will offer you a safe place in a non-judgemental atmosphere to help you along this journey.

Some people feel some relief as soon as they feel heard and understood, for others this happens when they experience shifts in their awareness, and still for others, only when practical changes are made to their lives.

This is a critical question and the answer to this is not simple as a matter of therapeutic models or qualifications, although both of these are important. Learn about different types of therapy (e.g., cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness-based therapy), hypnotherapy, or neurofeedback training, to see which might resonate with you.

To begin, it is important for the protection of the client to find a therapist who is qualified. In the UK, for counsellors, this means having a diploma and for psychotherapists, a master's degree. 

Additionally, in the UK, therapists must be members of a professional organisation. for therapists. The BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), and National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and UKCP (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy) are organisations have websites that list the ethical standards we must uphold, as well and lists of accredited therapists.
