FAQs

I use an integrative approach to therapy where in the techniques used are as per the unique needs of the client for the issue at hand. Different issues for the same person will be treated with different strategy. Some therapies that I use include REBT, CBT, Gestalt, ACT, solutions focused brief therapy, approaches targeting neuroplasticity,  Cogmed training for Learning disability and ADHD, Mindfulness to name some.

The most important aspect that you need to check for in a therapist is how comfortable you feel talking to them. A therapist needs to be empathetic, non- judgemental, make you feel safe in relating your story and the approach should  make you feel that you have control over  your own healing.

Just the willingness to get help and support.

Anxiety and depression are two of the most common issues people face. Many other issues are also a result of anxiety. Therapy directly targets the anxiety people experience and counselling is the only way to actually overcome anxiety and to learn skills to deal with it effectively. The client may also require medication in case of acute depression but for long term management and cure Counselling is essential.

If you feel uncomfortable talking about something you can tell your therapist that you do not wish to talk about it right now and your therapist will understand and move on. But will likely come back to it when you are ready.

If you are uncomfortable talking to the therapist then she may not be right for you.

You will see change in your mood, shift in your perspective and a general sense of calmness and control over your own life.

Individual therapy is done one on one. While in  Group therapy people facing similar issues are counselled in a group.  A Group therapy makes use of experiences and shares of others in the group as a therapeutic tool. Some issues and people will benefit more from individual therapy and for some group therapy may be ideal.

Relationship issues always form part of the problems that people face. Personal issues will spill over into relationships and relationship issues will also affect you individually. Family conflicts are also always there in the mix.  Therapy can help with both these problems but the parties need to be willing to take help.

You can call or drop a message at least a day in advance unless there is an emergency.

No preparation is needed for a therapy session.

Yes always. Its always your prerogative to decide which counsellor you want to consult but make sure if you are switching from one to the other, its for the right reason. Do  not window shop for therapists because it will be detrimental to your healing and progress.

Definitely. It makes couples realise where they are wrong beyond where their spouse is wrong which is the first positive outcome. They learn to communicate better so that they do not keep hurting each other without giving time to heal.
