What actually happens in therapy?

For many people, starting therapy feels like a big unknown. Here is what the process can look like – step by step:

Step 1

First appointment and goals – we schedule your first session, talk about what brings you to therapy and agree on your goals and the basic framework of our work together.

Step 2

Building a safe, trusting relationship – you get to know your therapist, we establish a pace and style of work that feels comfortable for you.

Step 3

Working on your difficulties – together we explore what is behind your problems, notice patterns in thoughts, emotions and behaviours, and try new ways of coping in and between sessions.

Step 4

Applying changes in everyday life – you start using new skills and insights in real situations, strengthen what works and notice what still needs attention.

Step 5

Summary and closure – we look at the changes that have happened, what you are taking with you from therapy, and how you can continue to look after yourself in the future.

At any point you can come back to your goals and adjust them as your needs change – therapy is a flexible process shaped together with your therapist.

How we work – methods tailored to your needs

We use evidence‑based therapeutic approaches. Each of them has its strengths – together we will choose the one that best fits you.

Gestalt psychotherapy

This approach focuses on fully experiencing the present moment and the therapeutic relationship. We work on increasing awareness of your emotions, needs and behaviours, which helps you introduce real changes in your life and relationships.

Psychodynamic therapy

This method takes into account the impact of unconscious processes and early experiences on your current functioning. We explore relationships and inner conflicts so you can better understand the roots of your difficulties and work through them effectively.

Solution‑Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

SFBT concentrates on looking for concrete ways of coping with difficulties instead of analysing all the causes. The therapist helps you discover your resources and strengths to build solutions that fit your current situation.

Cognitive‑behavioural therapy (CBT)

CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Together with your therapist you learn to modify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new strategies for action, which helps you see noticeable effects faster.

Integrative humanistic‑experiential therapy

This approach combines elements of different therapeutic methods and is based on authentic contact and deep understanding of your experience. The therapist supports you in discovering emotions, needs and ways of reacting, which leads to deeper self‑awareness and changes aligned with your values.

Motivational interviewing


This method helps you develop your inner motivation to change. The therapist supports you in discovering your own reasons and strength to act, without judging or imposing ready‑made solutions, so the process of change becomes more natural and lasting.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if therapy is for me?

If you’re asking yourself this question, therapy is probably worth considering. It is not only for people with “serious problems” – it is a space for anyone who wants to understand themselves better and live more fully.

Will the first session feel awkward?

It’s natural to feel nervous. Our therapists are used to working with people who are coming to therapy for the first time.

How long does therapy take?

It is very individual. Some people feel better after 5–6 sessions, others work longer – several months or even years. You decide when you are ready to finish. There is no obligation or minimum number of sessions.

Is what I say really confidential?

Absolutely yes. Therapists are bound by professional confidentiality. The only exceptions are situations where someone’s life or health is at risk – but even then we will talk about it with you first.

How should I prepare for the first session?

You don’t need any special preparation. Come just as you are. The most important thing is to be open to conversation.
