Psychotherapy
Individual Psychotherapy
Individual psychotherapy is a form of therapy where one-on-one sessions are held between the therapist and the patient to understand, explore, and work on various emotional, mental, or behavioural difficulties. Depending on the therapist, approaches, and patient needs, different types of psychotherapies can be used, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy, psychoanalytic psychotherapy, problem-solving therapy, group psychotherapy, etc.
The goal of individual psychotherapy is to provide a safe space where the patient can openly discuss their feelings, experiences, and problems. Through the therapy process, the patient can better understand themselves, their patterns of thinking and behaviour, and learn new techniques or strategies for managing stress, coping with challenges, or solving problems.
The therapist will use various techniques and tools tailored to the patient’s needs to support the process of self-help and change. Depending on the situation, the therapy may be short-term (focused on resolving a specific issue) or long-term (working on deeper issues and personality changes).
Regular sessions with the therapist usually take place weekly or according to the patient’s agreement and progress.
