Consultation

A therapeutic consultation plays a crucial role in initiating the therapy process. As an introductory meeting, it allows the therapist to familiarize themselves with the client and the client to understand the therapist and their working method. Detailed discussion about the therapy process, which takes place during the consultation, prepares the client to make informed decisions on their journey to mental health.

At the consultation stage, therapeutic sessions differ from those that follow later in the therapy process. This is a time to explain what therapy is, how the treatment process proceeds, and what benefits it can bring. The client can ask questions and clarify doubts, which helps build trust in the therapist.

I will ask you about situations you are struggling with to understand what problems you are experiencing in your life. The answers to these questions will help me to focus the therapy on areas that require particular attention. Based on this, we will create a therapeutic plan that will be tailored to your individual needs.

The first consultation session also includes discussing the rules and regulations that apply during therapy. Ensuring that these rules are understood and accepted is key to the effectiveness of the therapeutic process.

However, even though therapeutic consultation can provide encouragement and hope for improvement, it is just a starting point. Real change comes through regular therapeutic sessions. A consultation is like a roadmap – it shows the direction, but you need to embark on the journey to reach the destination.

Therapeutic consultations are an important element of any therapy – they provide the necessary information, build trust, and help the client realize how therapy can help with their problems. It’s the first step in the therapy process, steering the client on the road to mental health.
