Frequently Asked Questions
What is psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy involves a collaborative process between a trained therapist and an individual, to explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Through “talk therapy,” it seeks to address psychological challenges, promote self-awareness, and foster personal growth.
By providing a supportive environment, psychotherapy offers individuals the space to overcome difficulties, improve mental health, and enhance overall well-being.
What are the risks of psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy for mental well-being provides valuable support, but engaging in such therapy carries risks, including emotional discomfort when discussing sensitive topics, temporary worsening of symptoms, the need to confront painful truths, and the possibility of feeling overwhelmed by the therapeutic process.
These risks can be alleviated through communication and collaboration between the therapist and client.
