< Back to news

Many of our new clients have never had therapy before.  Top tips for choosing a therapist include:

  • Have an idea of what you want to get out of therapy
  • Choose your own therapist – only you can know who is the best person for you!
  • Give it a few sessions – settling in takes time but don’t be afraid to say if the fit isn’t right!
  • Try more than one therapist before you decide with whom you want to work.
