Therapeutic Relationship
Psychotherapy, couples counselling and relationship therapy is most effective when there is a good therapeutic relationship between client(s) and therapist, irrespective of the modality used. In any event, the therapy will vary according to the personalities of the psychotherapist and client(s) and the nature of your circumstances. Different models and techniques may be used in helping you with the issues you present. Successful therapy usually depends on your willingness to attend appointments regularly and to engage actively, adopting an inquiring attitude to yourself.
The therapeutic relationship is intended to be healing, supportive and sometimes challenging. There may be times, as in any human relationship, when things feel difficult and it seems hard to persevere. These times, if worked through in the sessions, can promote growth and enhance life. You accept the need to have the intention of seeing things through in such circumstances.
