Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does a psychology session last?

    A typical session usually lasts between 45-60 minutes. The exact duration can depend on the therapist’s approach, the type of therapy being provided and the specific needs of the patient. Sessions are often scheduled weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, but the frequency may vary depending on the treatment plan.

  • What types of issues can a psychologist help with?

    A psychologist can help with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief, relationship problems and behavioural disorders. They also assist with managing chronic illness, coping with life transitions and improving emotional regulation and communication skills. Therapy can address personal growth, self-esteem and mental health challenges.

  • What is the difference between a psychologist and psychiatrist?

    A psychologist primarily provides therapy and counselling, focusing on diagnosing and treating mental health issues through non-medical approaches. A psychiatrist, on the other hand, is a medical doctor who can prescribe medication and manage the medical aspects of mental health disorders alongside therapy.

  • Is therapy confidential?

    Yes, therapy is generally confidential. Psychologists are bound by strict ethical guidelines and privacy laws to protect your information. However, there are exceptions where confidentiality may be breached, such as if there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or when required by law. Always discuss confidentiality policies with your psychologist.
