Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Counsellor the same as a Psychologist?
Counselling and Psychology are overlapping professions in many respects, but there are some differences when it comes to certain formal assessments or providing expert evidence. Otherwise, choosing a therapist is a matter of finding someone whose approach resonates with you and with whom you feel you can develop a good working a relationship.
Where are you located?
My practice is located at Suite 5, 3B Pitt Street, North Hobart.
I am also available for online sessions via Zoom.
Can therapy really help?
Yes! Modern talk-therapy emerged in the early twentieth century, and helped treat a range of psychological conditions. Since then the field has evolved several branches of theory and practice. But its essence is unchanged in providing a supportive, empathetic and non-judgmental process of deep understanding, which helps a person heal and grow.
How long do I need to stay in therapy?
Sometimes therapy lasts only as long as it takes to solve a pressing issue. Other times people see a therapist for a longer period, up to several years. Studies suggest that the benefits therapy are cumulative, but the length of any therapy depends on many factors.
How do I choose a therapist?
Therapy is a working relationship, so choose someone with whom you feel comfortable and respected. Feel free to ask questions about their methods and how they view your issue. If their perspective resonates with you, that is a good sign you will be able to make changes in a direction that feels like growth and recovery. Remember that all therapists belong to cultures of practice, and diversity among therapists reflects the diversity of human survival and flourishing. There is no single answer to the question of how to deal with problems in life, but a good therapist can help you find meangful, affirming, and effective solutions that support your growth.
