The best predictor of a good outcome is a strong therapeutic relationship.
Create an Environment
A good psychologist creates a space where therapy can take place – where clients can discuss their feelings and problems in a safe and non-judgemental environment. If you don’t feel this comfort, a good psychologist should also be open to feedback in order to improve your therapy experience.
Goal Setting
Goal-setting: Every patient who is referred to us is encouraged to set goals in relation to what they hope to gain from their therapy, based on their presenting concerns.
Target Goals
From here, you will agree with your therapist on a course of action based on what needs to be done to reach your goals. A strong bond usually forms from this trust, as well as improved confidence as you move closer towards your goals.
