10 Apr Starting Therapy: A Step-by-Step Guide
Welcome! Hi, I’m Emily Burton. As the founder and principal psychologist at Positive Wellbeing Psychology, I’m deeply invested in ensuring your experience is positive and supportive. Every step of your journey is important to me, and I’m dedicated to making it as smooth and comfortable as possible. Initiating therapy is a brave step forward!
Step 1: Reach Out
The first step on your therapy journey is to reach out to us. Simply send an enquiry through our website. You can opt for online sessions via telehealth, providing the comfort and convenience of your home or office. Alternatively, let us know if you prefer in-person sessions! You’ll find a charming, well-lit consulting suite with a retreat-like ambience. We’re nestled amidst the tree-lined streets of Armadale – conveniently situated near delightful coffee shops just on Beatty Avenue.
Step 2: Our Matching Support
The second step involves our team ensuring we find the right psychologist for you. I take great care in personally matching you with one of our warm and compassionate psychologists from our team who will be best suited to address your specific needs and concerns. Using the information you share with us, I ensure that you are paired with a psychologist who can provide the most effective support for your therapy journey.
Step 3: Complete The Online Registration Form
Once we’ve confirmed your preferred time, we’ll send you a welcome email containing an online enquiry link. Here, you can provide additional information to your psychologist, should you wish to do so. This allows our psychologists, including our experienced online psychologist in Australia, to gain a comprehensive understanding of your reasons for seeking therapy before your initial appointment, ensuring a more productive and tailored session.
Step 4: Attending Your First Appointment
Whether you prefer online sessions via telehealth or in-person at our consulting suites nestled in the tree-lined streets of Armadale, your first therapy session marks the beginning of your healing journey. In this session, you’ll explore goals, discuss your expectations, and start working together towards positive change. It’s a safe, non-judgmental space, and you set the pace for your sessions.
Step 5: Reserve Regular Sessions
Once you’ve had your first session, the next step is regular therapy sessions. The frequency of these sessions will depend on your needs and comfort level. These sessions will involve discussing your progress, exploring any challenges, and working on strategies to help you achieve your goals.
Starting therapy is indeed a brave step forward. However, with the right support, a conducive environment, and an effective plan, it becomes a journey of self-improvement and healing. Whether you’re looking for online sessions or in-person therapy in Armadale, my team and I at Positive Wellbeing Psychology are here to support you every step of the way. Here’s to a healthier, happier you!
