Any questions ?
We got you .
Choosing a therapist who speaks your language and understands your culture can make it easier to express yourself and feel understood. They’re more likely to "get" you, your background and culture, beliefs and values. This helps offer mental health support that truly fits your experiences and needs.
Our team of practitioners speak at least one other language in addition to English. Read their profiles to know about their skills and experiences and what languages they speak.
You may need therapy if you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to handle your emotions. If you find yourself repeating the same negative patterns, struggling with stress, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others, therapy can help. You don’t need to be “at your worst” to reach out - sometimes even small concerns deserve space, support, and guidance.
Progress in therapy often looks like improved coping skills, increased self-awareness, and a better understanding of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It may take time, and progress can vary. Setting expectations early on is good practice.
If you're unsure or think therapy is not working, discuss this with your therapist as they can adjust approaches to better meet your needs, or if necessary, help you find another therapist who might be a better fit.
When choosing a therapist, consider factors like the therapist’s experience, training, their approach, what languages they speak, their cultural understanding, and specialty areas. It is always helpful to schedule an initial call with them to see if you feel comfortable and understood.
At the Talking Couch Therapy, we offer two 10-minute calls with your choice of therapist(s) after which you can decide if you'd like to continue with them for therapy.
Generally, people start with weekly sessions. However, the frequency of sessions depends on your needs, goals, and preferences. If you are new to therapy, discussing it with your therapist is helpful. If you have previously had therapy and are resuming your journey, simply let your therapist know. You can decide to adjust the frequency as you progress.
A lot of our therapists reside and work from different parts of the world. However, that does not reduce the significance of their training and skills. Our team practices ethically and within their competencies. Read your preferred therapists' profile to know more about them. If you feel the need, schedule a 10-minute free call with them to know more about them and ask questions before you proceed further.
