Frequently Asked Questions

The decision to begin psychotherapy is a personal one, and it’s essential to embark on this journey when you feel ready. We all experience a range of emotions and thoughts daily, some pleasant and others less so. It becomes important to consider seeking professional help when these unpleasant feelings and thoughts persist for an extended period, hindering your ability to function in your personal, professional, and social life. While your support system plays a valuable role, combining it with professional guidance from a specialist can be highly beneficial.

In the realm of psychotherapy, the notion of what constitutes a “serious problem” is subjective. Each individual perceives and experiences emotions differently, be it anxiety, separation, bereavement, or other challenges. Therapy is not limited to addressing only what we might classify as serious problems. It is a resource for anyone seeking support or personal development, regardless of the specific issue.

The role of a psychologist is not to provide ready-made solutions or offer advice. Instead, it involves careful listening without judgment, creating an authentic and supportive environment that empowers individuals to become their own therapists. Through scientifically proven techniques, a psychologist helps clients better understand themselves, recognize difficulties, and acquire effective coping strategies, ultimately leading to a more satisfying and functional life.

Sessions usually last 45-50 minutes, with the frequency being adjusted to the needs of the client. It is recommended that sessions be held once a week to maintain continuity and effectiveness of the treatment.

If you are unable to attend a scheduled session, please let me know at least 24 hours in advance. This forethought facilitates scheduling and ensures that you receive the support you need at the right time.
