What Does a Session with a Psychotherapist Look Like?

At the first meeting, through an initial interview, we get to know the context you come from by asking questions, we analyze the situation, and we explore the reason you reached out.

After that, we together set the goals and the direction in which we will go in future work.
The approach, techniques, and pace of work are adjusted to the needs of the client and their current capacities.
The client opens up as much as they feel they can and want to.
There is no forcing, and the whole process moves slowly, step by step. The psychotherapist follows the client and supports the client in following themselves.

Mostly, already at the first meeting the client gains insight into their situation and the problem they came with, and we continue the work from there.
It often takes a few meetings to get to know each other and build a connection.

One counselling/psychotherapy session lasts 50-60 minutes, after which we arrange the next meetings.

After the introductory sessions of getting to know each other and the initial agreements, the therapeutic process begins, which, depending on the type of problem and the person's wishes and needs, will take some time.
Sometimes this process goes faster, and sometimes slower.
At the very beginning, it is important to maintain continuity of sessions so that it is easier to enter the therapeutic process, but also to see results sooner.

Through therapeutic work, a person has the opportunity to become aware of unconscious or repressed parts of themselves, face their fears, work on their self-confidence, speak honestly and openly about their wishes and needs, learn about boundaries (their own and others') and possibilities, and at the same time discover and develop their maximum potential.

The fundamental task of psychotherapy is to teach you to live autonomously, in accordance with your deepest values.
