Are you thinking about starting Therapy for the first time?

Anybody can benefit from Psychotherapy, which does not necessarily mean they have some problem. Perhaps, it is like having a personal trainer for their mental health.

It is vital to get the right therapist for you. The internet is your backyard, do your research. You can virtually kiss many frogs. 

Turn your stumbling blocks into stepping stones by bringing any fears you have about starting therapy and other issues into the sessions. They are invaluable for the work.

It is becoming normal for people, including our friends and family, to be in Psychotherapy. TV shows such as ‘The Sopranos’ and ‘In Treatment’ have lessened the mystique of the shrink. However, there can still be a perception of a stigma attached to it, fuelling secrecy, shame, and guilt. 

Recently, clients have been finding solace in beginning therapy and exploring heightened anxiety and boredom, both products of the Covid-19 Pandemic. Words such as prison and tunnel are used to convey feelings of stuckness and uncertainty. ‘not sure if I can go back to the office’ or ‘I think I have lost my social skills are frequently voiced in sessions.

At City Therapy, we will take the stress away by helping you navigate the therapy process. The center’s manager will embrace any nerves or anxiety you feel and put your mind at ease. Based on experience, they may suggest a therapist for you who is a good ‘fit.’ This is an ideal time to ask those niggling questions about fees, your therapist’s experience, and your style of working. This conversation is confidential and non-judgemental.
