Deciding When to End Therapy
Whatever our reason for beginning therapy, how can we recognise when it’s time to work towards an ending? Some considerations on how to approach this decision, including the content and impact of sessions, the therapeutic relationship, wider support systems, and questions for self-reflection.
One-At-A-Time Therapy
Here I share some thoughts on what One-At-A-Time Therapy (OOAT) looks like, deciding if it could fit you, how to prepare and what happen afterwards.
How long does Therapy take?
Here I share some thoughts on what time-limited therapy and open-ended therapy look like, what situations they tend to fit, and some possible benefits and challenges of each.
How Online Counselling can work
Here I look at online counselling, with a focus on telephone and video sessions, to help you consider whether it might work for you. What are the benefits and challenges, what does it look and feel like and how does it differ from in-person therapy?
What’s an initial conversation with a therapist like?
An initial conversation, or Assessment, is a time for a therapist and client to meet to explore if they might be able to do some meaningful work together. More about this moment to ask any questions you have about the process, to experience a little of what the therapeutic relationship can feel like and to get a professional opinion on what might be useful for you.
Are you prepared to find your therapist?
Choosing a therapist can feel like online dating; there’s a sea of information to read through, it can feel difficult to get a feel for the person behind the profile and it takes courage to reach out to someone you don’t know. Some thoughts about how to go about finding a therapist.
Can you spot the difference between therapists?
A therapist’s title tells us the training they’ve undertaken, their way of working and the type of clients they tend to focus on. Find out more about the different types of therapists you could choose to work with.
Which therapy model best fits you?
All therapists will have a model, which is a way of working shaped by a set of beliefs about how people develop and grow. Find out more about types of therapy on offer and what ways or working might suit you and best help you reach your goals.
