About therapy

Everyone has a lot of questions before their first therapy session. It takes courage to confide in a stranger about your personal struggles. But the hardest part is taking the first step. That's why we've put together everything you might be interested in about your first therapy session to make that first step as easy as possible for you.

If you are considering psychotherapy, it is definitely worth trying it. Psychotherapy does not have to be the last resort for crisis situations, nor does it serve only those who are troubled by more serious mental health problems. It is suitable for anyone who wants to work on themselves and better understand themselves.

Every day, we talk about our romantic or familial relationships, but what about our relationship with our therapist? It’s definitely worth paying attention to if you’re in therapy. Because he or she has a significant impact on the success of your psychological well-being journey. We discuss how to tell if your therapist is right for you and what to do if things don’t work out the first time.
