I would recommend Fettle as they genuinely do their best to ensure people are matched with the right therapist."

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about therapy

Therapy provides a safe, confidential space where you can talk openly about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Your therapist listens without judgement, helps you understand patterns in your thinking and behaviour, and works with you to develop strategies for positive change. The therapeutic relationship itself is often a key part of healing.

Our therapists are trained in various evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person-Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, and many more. Your therapist will work with you to find the approach that best suits your needs and goals.

The duration of therapy varies depending on your individual needs and goals. Some people benefit from short-term therapy (6-12 sessions), while others prefer longer-term support. Many clients begin to notice positive changes within the first few sessions. Your therapist will regularly review progress with you.

Yes! Research consistently shows that online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy for most concerns.

What is therapy and how can it help?

Therapy, also known as psychotherapy or counselling, is a collaborative treatment based on the relationship between an individual and a trained mental health professional.

Therapy provides a supportive environment that allows you to talk openly with someone who's objective, neutral, and non-judgmental.

Working with a therapist can help you develop insight into your patterns of thinking and behaviour, build coping skills, work through difficult emotions, and make positive changes in your life.

The Therapy Process: What to Expect

In your first session, your therapist will get to know you and understand what brings you to therapy. This is a collaborative process where you set the pace.

Sessions typically last 50 minutes and take place weekly, though this can be adjusted based on your needs and preferences.

Your therapist will work with you to identify goals and develop strategies tailored to your specific situation. Over time, you'll develop new insights and skills that you can apply in your daily life.

Remember: therapy is a journey, and meaningful change takes time. Be patient with yourself.

  • Depression and low mood
  • Relationship difficulties

Anxiety & Worry

"Nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action." — Walter Anderson

Tip:

Therapy helps you identify anxiety triggers and develop practical coping strategies. Learn to challenge unhelpful thought patterns and build resilience—many clients experience significant relief within just a few sessions.

Depression & Low Mood

"Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise." — Victor Hugo

Tip:

Therapy helps you explore the root causes of depression, develop healthier thought patterns, and reconnect with activities that bring meaning. You don't have to face this alone—support is available.

Stress & Burnout

"Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you." — Anne Lamott

Tip:

Therapy helps you identify stress sources, establish healthy boundaries, and develop effective coping mechanisms. Create sustainable routines that support your wellbeing long-term.

Relationship Issues

"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed." — Carl Jung

Tip:

Therapy helps you understand relationship patterns, improve communication skills, set healthy boundaries, and build more fulfilling connections with the people who matter most.

Grief & Loss

"Grief is the price we pay for love." — Queen Elizabeth II

Tip:

Therapy provides compassionate support as you navigate your grief journey. Process difficult emotions at your own pace, honour your loss, and gradually find ways to move forward.

Low Self-Esteem

"You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection." — Buddha

Tip:

Therapy helps you understand where negative self-beliefs originated, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and build a healthier, more compassionate relationship with yourself.

Trauma & PTSD

"The wound is the place where the light enters you." — Rumi

Tip:

Trauma-informed therapists provide a safe space to process difficult experiences at your own pace. Evidence-based techniques help reduce symptoms, regain control, and move towards recovery.

Life Transitions

"The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance." — Alan Watts

Tip:

Therapy helps you process mixed feelings that accompany change, identify what you need during transitions, and develop strategies to adapt and thrive in new circumstances.

Personal Growth

"The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be." — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Tip:

Therapy supports your personal development journey—gain self-awareness, clarify values and goals, overcome limiting beliefs, and develop skills for greater fulfilment in all areas of life.
