YOUR PREFERENCE ON YOUR THERAPIST'S GENDER

When choosing a therapist, almost all people have an instinctive idea on the gender of the person they would prefer to work with. I don't think there is a right or wrong when it comes to choosing however, it can be clinically valuable to notice which gender you absolutely wouldn't want to work with.

WRITE DOWN SOME QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT WANT ANSWERED

Here are some ideas about what you could consider when choosing a therapist: What type of therapy do they deliver? Are they insured? Which governing body are they registered to? Professional qualification? Have they dealt with your issue before and what experience do they have of your issue? Cost, frequency of session?Ask around for recommendations, read testimonials.
