PERSONAL THERAPY FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

At Mayfair Therapy, I specialise in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. This approach delves into unconscious processes, early relational patterns, and internal conflicts that influence current behaviours and experiences. By exploring these areas, we aim to foster self-awareness and facilitate meaningful change.

Engaging with a therapist provides a unique professional relationship distinct from personal connections. As a trained psychotherapist, I offer an objective, non-judgmental space dedicated solely to your well-being. This environment allows for the identification and exploration of negative patterns, self-sabotaging beliefs, and maladaptive behaviours that may be challenging to recognise independently or with the help of friends and family.

In our initial session, we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and any specific concerns you wish to address. This meeting serves as an opportunity for you to ask questions and determine if you feel comfortable with my therapeutic approach. It's a collaborative process aimed at establishing a foundation for our work together.

Yes, therapy sessions are confidential. The content of our discussions and your participation in therapy are private. However, there are specific circumstances where confidentiality may be ethically or legally breached, such as if there is a risk of harm to yourself or others. In such cases, I would discuss the necessary steps with you whenever possible.

Choosing the right therapist is a personal decision. I offer an initial assessment free of charge and without obligation, allowing you to experience my approach firsthand. This session helps us both determine if we can work effectively together. It's essential that you feel comfortable, as a strong therapeutic relationship is crucial for effective therapy.

Each session is unique and tailored to your current needs. We begin by creating a welcoming space where you can share whatever is on your mind. The direction and pace of the session are guided by you, with moments of discussion and reflection. Both silence and conversation play valuable roles in the therapeutic process.
