Many people seek private therapy for a vast range of reasons. Choosing your own therapist means you can find a fit that works for you. Paul Barrett offers therapy in Chelsea and regularly sees new clients for a range of personal reasons. Through private therapy you are considered a client, not a patient and your role is more instrumental in how the therapy sessions go and whether the client-therapist relationship works. There are many reasons people opt for private therapy in Chelsea and we’re exploring some of those here.
Flexible Approach to suit your Life
It is possible to access some therapies via the NHS but this can be difficult to arrange around lifestyle commitments. Furthermore, if you cannot attend an appointment you may not be able to arrange another one easily. Private therapy offers greater flexibility when it comes to arranging appointments at times to suit your schedule. Whether you live or work in Chelsea you can find an appointment time with Paul that suits.
It is also possible to find therapy via online or telephone if this better suits your needs. Video counselling sessions may also be suitable in some circumstances. Private therapy offers a wider range of options than the alternative.
The flexibility also extends to being able to get therapy when you need it and at a pace that works for you. By funding your own therapy you can schedule as many or as few sessions as your therapist believes you need.
Improved Therapeutic Relationship
Choosing private therapy means you have a much wider choice of professionals to choose from. You can search the register to find a therapist who fits with your needs and you feel you will be able to open up to. Meeting in person or virtually via video call is always recommended before committing and you will soon be able to decide whether this therapist is the right one for your needs.
Research shows that the most important factor for successful therapy is the rapport build up between the therapist and their clients. Therefore, finding the right therapist is vital for a successful experience and to get what you want from the appointments.
