Work out what time works best for you It’s not always easy to find the right time in today’s busy lives but if possible book your therapy session when you can give it your full attention. I see clients five days a week 9am - 9pm. I feel it’s beneficial to also make time after a session to reflect.
Don't hold back In order to get the most out of your therapy it’s important for me to know what's really going on. Holding back and concealing yourself only slows the process down. I'm not easily offended or shocked so please be honest and open.
Don’t give up Being in therapy can at times feel like a roller coaster. Your feelings and moods may swing as emotions get triggered. One minute you may be laughing and the next in tears. It's not easy. It’s a process that’s rarely successful without commitment.
Speak your mind If you feel I’ve missed something or you think I haven't understood or you simply disagree, let me know. Therapy works best when it's collaborative. Express your needs, ask questions, tell me what you want to talk about.
Savour the process I know therapy isn't always fun - although I do laugh quite a bit with my clients. One thing's for certain, it can be an incredibly enriching process. You'll learn things about yourself that will stay with you for the rest of your life.
