Common questions

Considering Therapy?

It is normal to have questions before deciding whether therapy is right for you. Here are some answers that may help you understand when therapy could be useful and what you can expect from our approach.

You Don't Need to Be Certain Before Reaching Out

You don't need to be certain that therapy is right for you before reaching out. An initial conversation can help you understand your options and decide whether it feels like the right next step.

Still unsure? You are welcome to get in touch with us before deciding.

How Do I Know If Therapy Could Help?

You don't need to have a diagnosis or be in a crisis to consider therapy. If something in your thoughts, emotions, relationships, or daily life feels difficult to manage or keeps getting in the way, therapy may be worth exploring.

Do I Need to Have a Mental Health Diagnosis?

No. Therapy isn't only for diagnosed mental health conditions. You can seek support for difficulties such as stress, overthinking, relationship concerns, low mood, anxiety, anger, life transitions, or recurring patterns that you would like to understand and change.

Do I Need to Be in a Crisis?

No. You don't have to wait until things become overwhelming before seeking support. Therapy can also be helpful when you notice that something isn't working well and you want to address it before it becomes more difficult to manage.

What If I Don't Know Exactly What Is Wrong?

That's okay. You don't need to arrive with a diagnosis or a clear explanation of your problem. The initial sessions are an opportunity to understand what you're experiencing, what may be contributing to it, and what you would like to work towards.

What If I've Already Tried to Deal With It on My Own?

Trying to manage difficulties yourself is common. If you've found yourself repeatedly struggling with the same thoughts, emotions, or patterns despite your efforts, therapy can provide a structured space to understand what's keeping those patterns going and learn different ways of responding.

How Do I Know If Your Approach Is Right for Me?

Our therapy is evidence-based and collaborative, drawing primarily from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT).

In the initial sessions, we will explain how we work and discuss whether our approach is appropriate for your concerns and goals.
