FAQs

What is Psychotherapy?

It is a safe space where, through conversation, we explore together what you feel, think, and experience. The goal is to understand recurring patterns, relieve suffering, and create healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.

What can I expect from the first session?

The first session is an opportunity for the patient and therapist to get to know each other. We’ll explore what brings you to therapy, your needs and expectations, and what we might work on together. Practical matters such as session frequency, scheduling, and fees will also be discussed.

How do I know which psychotherapist is right for me?

Feeling understood and at ease is essential. The therapeutic relationship plays a central role in the process. In the first session, you can notice whether you feel a sense of trust, openness, and freedom to be yourself.

Are sessions in person or online?

Both options are available. What matters most is choosing the format that feels most comfortable for you and fits best with your routine.

How long does a therapeutic process take?

This varies from person to person. The pace depends on what emerges both in and between sessions. Some people seek short-term support, while others benefit from a longer, ongoing process.
