What is Psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is a word when heard often leaves people feeling confused or even at times feeling offended. But what exactly do we mean by psychotherapy? When do we seek help? When is the right time? Etc. etc. There are so many questions that go through the mind before we even begin. Pause. Take a breath. RelaxPsychotherapy is a process. In a more technical manner, it is the process of treatment of mental health concerns. This process involves an individual collaborating with a mental health professional to embark on a journey of exploration, understanding, processing and resolution of their struggles, issues and concerns. The journey is gradual with small baby steps which can also sometimes feel like a rollercoaster ride with highs and lows. But remember, you are not alone in this journey. :)

What can I seek therapy for?

The simplest answer is - Anything! Through therapy, we can address a wide variety of concerns from feeling low, demotivation, exhaustion, fears and sleep concerns to issues in relationships, loneliness, anxiety, overthinking, self-esteem issues, boundaries and so much more. It can even be used to explore certain life patterns or patterns through different generations. One doesn’t need to have a diagnosis (such as depression, generalised anxiety disorder etc.) to seek therapy.However, I do work with individuals who have been formally diagnosed with mental health concerns and provide a safe space for the same.

When is the right time to seek therapy?

Whenever you feel the time is right. A lot of times we might think “It’s not that bad, I can manage on my own”, “Things will get better with time” or even “Others are suffering more than I am”. All of these thoughts are valid, however, it is also important to note that your suffering is yours and it is as painful as someone else’s. Remember “Pain is inevitable, Suffering is optional” - Haruki Murakami.

What will happen in the Consultation Call?

The consultation call is the initial step where we get to know each other and see if we are a good fit for each other. We will briefly discuss the issues and concerns you are struggling with and your expectation from therapy. This call WON’T be like an interview but is just an introduction to each other. This meeting will also include us discussing about the payment plans, the policies and any other formal details.

What will happen after the Consultation Call?

Post the consultation call we will have 50-60 minutes of sessions on a regular basis where we will work according to discussed goals and plan. We will revisit the goals and plans as and when necessary to track the progress you are making to optimise the process.

How many sessions will I need?

There's no number! An individual can need any number of sessions. Since therapy is a highly customised and unique process for everyone, it is not possible to predict a number. However one needs a minimum of 4 to 6 sessions to see a difference.

Are these sessions confidential?

These sessions are confidential, any information shared will remain in our space only. However, there are some limitations to this confidentiality this can be when I sense any danger towards myself or to others.I might also share certain details of our sessions with my supervisor to get a better understanding and make our sessions better. This is done anonymously and with consent.

Are you under Supervision?

Yes, I am under professional supervision. Supervision helps in getting a different perspective on an individual's therapy journey. Sometimes getting another fresh perspective makes the process better and more nuanced eventually adding to the overall experience of therapy. The details shared in supervision are 100% anonymous.

How will therapy end?

Therapy usually ends after we reach all the goals as we discuss from time to time. Although, you may wish to withdraw from therapy in between as well. The agreement and plan are not absolute and it is okay to withdraw.Although, communication from your end will be important to have a proper closure to the experience.
