Frequently Asked Questions (clicking on the questions will open a new browser window).

When considering entering psychotherapy or counselling it can be difficult to know how to go about finding the right type of therapy and therapist for you. People often have questions and are unsure as to where to look for the answers, for example, what is psychotherapy? and what is the difference between psychotherapy and counselling?, they sometimes wonder how is psychotherapy different to talking with a friend? or how do I know if I need psychotherapy? - a common concern is will therapy make me dependant on my therapist? - also, how long does psychotherapy take?, how do I choose a psychotherapist? and how do I take the first step? On this page I have tried to answer some of these questions, however, please feel free to contact me with questions that I haven't listed here.
