FAQ
Why is therapy important?
Everyone goes through ups and downs in life, and while you may have successfully navigated through other difficulties you’ve faced, therapy can help you in providing the extra support that you require. Therapy is not for the weak, it’s for people who have enough confidence to accept and realize they need a helping hand, and that is something to be admired.
What should I expect during my first session?
The first session is about building trust. Therapy works best when you can trust your therapist and vice versa. In the first session, we try to understand your problems better, take your detailed case history and define a goal-based journey on what to expect from therapy and by when.
What is the difference between a therapist and a psychiatrist?
A Therapists’ goal is to help patients realise their problems and help them make decisions and clarify their feelings to solve problems without any medication. A Psychiatrist, on the other hand, helps diagnose mental health issues and prescribes medicines if needed. However, Therapists and Psychiatrists go hand in hand to provide comprehensive care as needed by any patient.
What does a therapy pack offer?
