FAQ
How do I know if talking therapy is right for me?
Talking therapies can be beneficial for a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems, trauma, and more. If you’re struggling with your mental health or simply want to better understand yourself, talking therapies could be helpful.
How can I access talking therapy?
Access to talking therapies depends on where you live. You might be able to access these services through:
- Your GP: Many people start by discussing their needs with their doctor, who can refer them to appropriate services.
- Self-referral: In some areas, you can refer yourself directly to a talking therapy service, such as through the NHS in the UK.
- Private practice: You can also access talking therapies by contacting a private therapist directly.

How long does a therapy session last?
A typical therapy session lasts about 50 to 60 minutes. The number of sessions you’ll need depends on your individual circumstances and the type of therapy you’re receiving.
How often will I need to attend sessions?
The frequency of sessions varies. Many people attend weekly or bi-weekly sessions, but your therapist will work with you to determine the best schedule based on your needs.
How long will I need to be in therapy?
The length of therapy depends on the issues you’re addressing and your personal goals. Some people benefit from short-term therapy (6-12 sessions), while others may continue therapy over a longer period. Your therapist will discuss this with you and regularly review your progress.
What if I don’t feel comfortable with my therapist?
It’s important to feel comfortable and safe with your therapist. If you don’t feel a good connection, it’s okay to discuss this with them. They may adjust their approach, or if necessary, you can request a different therapist who is a better fit.
Do I need to prepare for a therapy session?
You don’t need to prepare extensively, but it can be helpful to think about what you’d like to discuss or any issues that have been on your mind. Over time, therapy will help you naturally bring up topics that are important to you.
Will I have to talk about my past?
The extent to which you discuss your past depends on the type of therapy and your personal preferences. Some therapies focus more on the present, while others, like psychodynamic therapy, explore past experiences to understand current behaviour.
Can I combine talking therapy with medication?
Yes, many people use talking therapies alongside medication prescribed by their doctor. It’s important to communicate with both your therapist and your healthcare provider to ensure a coordinated approach to your treatment.
What should I expect after completing therapy?
After completing therapy, you may feel more equipped to handle life’s challenges and have a better understanding of yourself. However, personal growth is ongoing, and some people choose to return to therapy later if they encounter new issues or wish to further their progress.
