Therapy Info - Which One

March 12, 2008

The therapy approach that you finally adopt should enable you to make the changes you are looking for.

Different therapies have different styles. For instance, in cognitive behavioural therapy there will be a lot of homework and tasks for you to complete. In bereavement therapy, there would be a lot of emphasis on supporting you through some difficult emotions.A psychodynamic counsellor would look at your past, other types of therapist may focus solely on your life in the present-day and some therapies concentrate on the future.    How do they work?  Many approaches put emphasis on developing the therapeutic relationship between you and your therapist.  Others look at your family relationships and explore your life as you grew up. Others focus on your thinking style and changes in behaviour.  And some, are a culmination of all these and more.The first appointment, sometimes called an assessment session, is an opportunity to explore issues that could affect the relationship between you and the counselor/psychotherapist as well as your personal needs for counseling. 

Therapy – The First Contact

March 6, 2008

Therapists practise in all walks of life and all parts of society - from a National Health Service (NHS) clinic to the Boardrooms of top companies.

Psychotherapists, psychologists, counselors, and marriage / family therapists are trained in situations as varied as: coping with anxiety and bereavement, relationship difficulties, educational dilemmas, sexual and racial issues, personal problem-solving as well as helping victims of child abuse and trauma.

Typically you may go to a web directory select your city or zip code then a list of therapist and the therapies offered would be displayed.

The next step would be to call them on the phone or email and asked them questions like what services they offer, what are they specialists in, what are there qualifications, are the registered and what is their registration number so that you can check it.

After you have finished on the call you may wish to ask yourself some of the questions below:-

1. Did I feel respected?

2. Was I allowed to talk without interruption or contradiction?

3. Were they Genuine, warm and accepting?

4. Is this someone I feel I can trust?

Remember it is your decision as to who or whom to appoint.
