What does it mean to go into therapy?

Many people who consider seeking help have never been to a psychologist before. We know that this step can be both big and scary.

By explaining in more detail what it is really about, we hope that we can lower the threshold for entering therapy.

Why therapy?

The main purpose of therapy is to create good change processes in collaboration with the therapist so that you as a client get a better understanding of yourself and can live the best life possible - despite potential challenges that may arise. The conversation and the content of the lesson are confidential and the therapist has a duty of confidentiality.

There is no final decision on how long a course of therapy lasts, some need hours over a long period, while others need few. It is possible to have hours often or with a little less frequency. The content of hours is determined by you, some address issues around childhood and adolescence, others address issues you face today. The psychologist takes a non-judgmental and impartial attitude to what is being addressed. In treatment, you will receive help to find out what is most important to you, and a safe framework is created so that you can address what you need.

Personalized therapy
