How to choose a therapist?
It is vital to feeling at ease and secure with your psychologist. Clients and psychologists work together, once the right match is established. An important factor in determining whether or not to work with a particular psychologist is the psychologist’s credentials, competence, and level of comfort between you. A good rapport with your psychologist is critical.
What do you do in therapy?
Therapy with a psychologist is a totally different procedure than undergoing therapy with a life coach. A psychologist is a trained professional with many years of University education, professional training, and personal development. A psychologist has the skills to help you resolve trauma and treat most psychological disorders.
During therapy, the psychologist will determine which therapy model is appropriate to use in order to help you towards a solution and emotional clarity.
