Individual Therapy: How One-on-One Counselling Supports Healing
Have you thought about attending therapy, but were worried about being judged? Maybe you’re picturing a group setting with everyone taking turns, like you’ve seen in movies. It doesn’t have to be that way! Individual therapy allows people to explore emotions, behaviours, and thought patterns in private. Working one-on-one with a psychologist creates opportunities for self-discovery, skill building, and healing.
The Therapeutic Relationship
The bond between client and therapist is central to process of therapy. Individual therapy provides a safe, confidential space to explore yourself without judgment. You can go at your own pace, exploring past traumas and/or current challenges one by one. Registered psychologists are bound by ethical and legal obligations to keep your information private, so your therapist will not be sharing what you share with them (unless you provide written consent for that to happen).
What Individual Therapy Can Help With
The beautiful thing about individual therapy is the flexibility. Because you’re the only focus of each session, you can address just about anything. People might come to therapy for:
Managing anxiety and depression
Working through grief and trauma
Developing coping strategies for stress
Building healthier self-esteem and confidence
Identifying goals and building a plan to achieve them
Whatever your reason, healing can only begin when you take the first step. Our psychologists are ready to walk beside you on this journey to a happier, healthier version of yourself.
