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.
