You cannot get better without the right remedy…and the right curer. Just as the right doctor gives you the most suitable medicine, the right therapist gives you the most suitable therapy. So, you must take your time to find the right one for yourself. It doesn’t mean you go on a therapist-shopping-spree, though!
Read this blog post to learn the things you must look for in a therapist. This will help your recovery more.
Choosing the right therapist can be challenging if you don’t know what to look for. So, you can these questions:
Does therapy treat the hidden cause of your problem? This is an important question. Effective therapy should find out the hidden cause rather than treating the symptoms only.
Is the therapy highly effective? How long does it take to see results? No matter how long you have suffered from your issue or pain, if the therapy is effective, it would only take a few sessions, and never take months or years.
Does the therapy respect your values? For example, you can consider alternative natural therapies i.e. Hypnotherapy, NLP, Havening, etc. if you want a more holistic treatment.
Are there published researches about this therapy? You must choose a therapy that has been proven effective in treating your problem. Why? Because they have passed clinical trials and brought positive results already.
Does the therapist have qualifications and experience? Look for a licensed and trained therapist who specialises in treating your issue.
Does the therapist give you a step-by-step treatment plan? Your therapist must be open with you. A well-structured treatment plan can help you track your progress. It can also let you stay motivated.
Additionally, you can understand exactly what you should expect from therapy. You may also find out how long the sessions might go on. Of course, the treatment plan should be tailor made and flexible.
What is the time commitment and cost involved? Typically, seeing a psychologist involves regular sessions, it costs around AU$280/hour, seeing a counsellor costs around AU$180/hour, whilst Hypnotherapy, NLP, Havening can be ranging from AU$150-$800/session (1-2 hours).
In fact, Hypnotherapy, NLP, Havening sessions can be more cost-effective than traditional talk therapy sessions as it involves only a few sessions to get significant results with the experienced hypnotherapists.
Can you do online sessions? Modern therapists give you an option to do the session online. Online therapy is good especially when you like to feel safe and comfortable in your own space, as well as saving your travel time.
If you want to see rapid changes in yourself, instead of seeing a counsellor, psychologist or psychiatrist, you may prefer to choose Hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and Havening. These are examples of therapies that can bring about rapid changes in mental health conditions.
Hypnotherapy: Hypnotherapy is a form of therapy that uses hypnosis to access the subconscious mind and promote positive changes in behavior and thought patterns.
It is often used to treat anxiety, depression, and phobias and has been shown to produce relatively effective and rapid results in some individuals.
Havening: Havening is a therapy that uses touch to help individuals process and release traumatic memories and emotions. It involves gentle stroking of the arms, face, and hands to stimulate the production of delta waves in the brain, which can promote relaxation and emotional healing.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP): NLP is a therapy that focuses on the connection between language, behavior, and thought patterns. It involves techniques such as visualisation and reframing to help individuals change their thoughts and behaviors quickly.
Once you have a better idea of what to look for in a therapist, it’s time to start your search. Here are some ways to find a therapist:
Look for therapists with a high overall rating: A high overall rating can be a good indication that the therapist has provided quality service to their clients.
Read through multiple reviews: Read through several reviews to get a sense of the therapist’s strengths, weaknesses, and overall approach. Look for reviews that are detailed and specific, rather than general comments.
Look for reviews from clients with similar concerns: Look for reviews from clients who have similar concerns or issues to yours. This can help you get a sense of how the therapist has helped others with similar needs.
Once you have found a potential therapist, it’s important to schedule a Strategy Call to see if they are the right fit for you. Here are some things to keep in mind during your first session:
Ask questions: Don’t be afraid to ask your potential therapist questions about their experience and approach to therapy. This can help you get a better sense of whether they are the right therapist for you.
Be honest: During your first session, be honest with your potential therapist about your mental health issues and what you hope to gain from therapy. This can help them determine if they are the right therapist to work with you.
Assess how you feel: Pay attention to how you feel during your first session. Do you feel comfortable talking to your therapist? Do you feel like they understand your situation? If you don’t feel a connection with your therapist after the first session, it may be time to find someone else.
In addition to traditional in-person therapy, there are also many online therapy options available. As long as you trust the process, online therapy can be a good option for people who experience certain mental health conditions, or live in rural areas or have limited mobility, and it can sometimes be more affordable than in-person therapy.
Here are some things to consider when choosing an online therapist:
Credentials: Just like with in-person therapy, it’s important to make sure the online therapist is licensed and has the necessary credentials to provide therapy.
Security: Make sure the online therapy platform you use is secure and protects your personal information.
Technology: Check that you have the necessary technology to participate in online therapy, such as a stable internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone.
Therapeutic relationship: As with in-person therapy, the therapeutic relationship between you and your online therapist is important. Make sure you feel comfortable communicating with your online therapist and that they understand your expectations.
Choosing the right therapist is crucial to your mental health and well-being. It can take time and effort to find a therapist that’s right for you, but it’s worth it in the end. A professional therapist can help you develop coping strategies to handle your mental well-being. So, take your time to find the right therapist.

Hypnosis has been shown to be effective in treating a range of conditions, such as anxiety, phobias, and smoking cessation. It works by inducing a state of deep relaxation and focused attention, allowing the hypnotist to suggest positive changes to the patient’s behavior or thought patterns. However, its effectiveness may vary depending on the individual and the specific issue being addressed.
The success rate of hypnotherapy varies depending on the individual and the issue being addressed. Research has shown that hypnotherapy can be effective in treating a range of conditions, such as anxiety, depression, and chronic pain. However, success rates may vary depending on factors such as the skill of the hypnotherapist, the patient’s level of suggestibility, and the patient’s willingness to participate in the process.
Both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and hypnotherapy are effective treatments for a range of conditions. CBT focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors, while hypnotherapy uses suggestions to promote positive changes in behavior or thought patterns. The choice between the two will depend on the individual’s needs and preferences, as well as the specific issue being addressed.
