What is therapy
Therapy, also known as psychotherapy or counselling, is a collaborative process between a therapist and a client aimed at addressing psychological, emotional, or behavioural issues. The primary goal of therapy is to help individuals understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and to develop coping strategies to manage challenges and improve their overall well-being.
Therapy can take many forms, including:
Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT): Focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviours.
Psychodynamic therapy: Examines how past experiences and unconscious thoughts influence current behaviour and emotions.
Humanistic therapy: Emphasizes personal growth, self-awareness, and self-acceptance.
Family therapy: Involves working with families to improve communication and resolve conflicts.
Group therapy: Provides support and guidance in a group setting, often with individuals who share similar concerns.
Mindfulness-based therapy: Incorporates mindfulness techniques to help individuals become more present and aware of their thoughts and feelings.
Therapy can be short-term or long-term, depending on the individual’s needs and goals. It offers a safe and confidential space for individuals to explore their concerns, gain insight into themselves, and develop skills to overcome challenges. Therapists are trained professionals who provide support, guidance, and evidence-based techniques to facilitate personal growth and positive change.

Can Therapy be done in person or online?
Yes, therapy can be conducted in person or online, depending on your preferences, accessibility, and circumstances. Both in-person and online therapy have their advantages and can be effective forms of treatment.
In-person therapy:
Face-to-face interaction: In-person therapy allows for direct, face-to-face interaction between you and your therapist, which some people find more personal and conducive to building a strong therapeutic relationship.
Non-verbal cues: Being in the same physical space as your therapist allows for the exchange of non-verbal cues, such as body language and facial expressions, which can enhance communication and understanding.
Privacy: In-person therapy sessions typically provide a private and confidential environment where you can openly discuss your concerns without worrying about privacy issues related to technology.
Online therapy (also known as teletherapy or telehealth):
Convenience: Online therapy offers the convenience of accessing therapy from the comfort of your own home or any location with internet access. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with mobility issues, transportation challenges, or those living in remote areas.
Accessibility: Online therapy increases access to mental health services for individuals who may have difficulty accessing traditional in-person therapy due to geographical barriers, busy schedules, or other limitations.
Anonymity: Some people feel more comfortable opening up about sensitive issues in an online setting where they have a degree of anonymity. This can reduce feelings of stigma or shame associated with seeking therapy.
Flexibility: Online therapy platforms often offer flexible scheduling options, including evenings and weekends, making it easier to fit therapy into your busy life.
Whether you choose in-person or online therapy, it’s essential to find a qualified therapist who you feel comfortable working with and who can provide the support and guidance you need to address your concerns effectively. Both modalities can be effective forms of treatment when conducted by trained professionals using evidence-based therapeutic approaches.
