Top tips for choosing a therapist

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.
