How do I choose a ProblemShared therapist who is right for me?

You can filter our <a href=/book-by-therapist>list of accredited or registered practitioners</a> by gender, speciality, type and price. Take a look through their profiles and biographies. Feel free to send an email to the ones you feel may have the right skill set to help you and have a brief discussion with them in advance of booking a session. They will be more than happy to talk about their approach to therapy and whether this would be appropriate for you.

How do I get the most from my ProblemShared sessions?

Choose your therapist carefully – feel free to send an email in advance of booking your initial session to a therapist you think may be right for you and discuss. Remember that your therapist is here to help. If you see therapy as a collaboration, you will improve your likelihood of benefitting from it. Arrange appointments at times that suit you, when you have an uninterrupted hour and will be in a quiet and private space. Therapy is a confidential process. You must feel free to speak your mind. Set goals and markers for change. This will help you chart progress and feel in control of the process. Do any work set during sessions, outside your sessions.

It’s an emergency! What should I do?

If you think you are at risk of harm or at risk of harming others, you should look at the resources available <a href=/in-case-of-emergency/>here</a>, call 999 or go immediately to your local Accident and Emergency department.
