Frequently Asked Questions

How long does therapy take?

It depends on your needs and what you’re looking to get out of therapy. We would consider 3 months to be short-term therapy and this would be focused around working on a specific problem. But if you’re looking for in-depth change, therapy tends to be longer term – around 6 – 12 months. Clients very often end up staying long-term because something else comes up and they find that they benefit from therapy in different ways at different times.

Do I need to prepare anything in advance?

It can help to have a bit of an idea around what you’re looking to get out of therapy as this can help steer the direction and make sure the focus rests on the areas that are most important to you. That said, it’s also fine if you’re not sure. Lots of people seek therapy because they’re lacking that clarity so it’s also completely fine if you don’t know what you’re looking for. Just making it through your psychologist’s door is enough.

Is it confidential?

Yes, consider therapy your safe space. Everything you talk about is completely confidential. The only exceptions are if your psychologist or psychiatrist thinks that you are a risk to yourself or others, in which case they may contact other professionals involved in your care, such as your GP.
