How to find a good counsellor, life coach, psychotherapist or cognitive behavioural therapist in London
Research indicates that the quality of the relationship you have with your therapist plays a major role in helping you to change things. A good relationship contributes significantly to your chances of achieving your desired outcome.
Even if your need for help is urgent, I strongly recommend you allow yourself enough time to find a therapist who you feel comfortable with and think you can learn from. This will increase your opportunity to make the changes you want. Rushing and choosing someone quickly, because you need help now, can end up being a painful, expensive experience, if it turns out they are really not right for you. Taking a little time in advance, to really check out your potential therapist, could save you a lot of time and money .
It can be useful to think of your relationship with a therapist as similar to the relationship you would have with a teacher. We all know how it feels to learn from a teacher we like, respect and understand and who challenges us in a respectful manner. We also know how it feels trying to learn from someone who does not understand us or teach us in a manner we can undestand.
To help you achieve the best possible chance of success, there are several questions, below, that I recommend you ask when trying to select a therapist that will suit you:
Questions to Ask and Issues to Consider When Selecting a Therapist
If you choose a therapist and after a while, you find that things are not changing for the better, then you should feel absolutely free to select another therapist.
