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.
