Frequently asked questions

The first session is a "getting to know you" meeting. The psychologist listens to understand you and your reason for coming; you also get to know the psychologist. You don't need to share anything you're not ready to — the pace is entirely yours.

A problem doesn't need to be "big enough." If you feel overwhelmed, unhappy or stuck; if you experience recurring difficulties in relationships; if you notice significant changes in sleep, appetite or motivation — therapy may help. You can also start therapy for personal growth without any crisis.

Duration varies by person and issue. Short-term CBT typically runs 8–16 sessions, while deeper psychodynamic work may be longer term. After the initial assessment, your psychologist will present a personalised plan.
