Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of our FAQs regarding our services.
- What is therapy?
Therapy, also known as counselling or psychotherapy, involves communication between a qualified mental health professional and an individual, couple, family, or group. The goal of such communication is to explore and address the emotional, psychological, or behavioural issues of the client. This is done to promote personal growth, well-being and positive change.
- How is talking to a therapist different from talking to a friend?
While talking to either may be very helpful, there are three main differences between conversations with friends and with therapists. Firstly, while in friendship, there is a mutual expectation of providing psychological support, with therapy, it is all about you and your well-being. Your friends may be good listeners and may provide good advice, but a therapist is literally a pro at doing this. This gives them added skills to help you thrive! Therapy provides you with a dedicated space for your mental health and well-being. It involves a formal commitment by you and your therapist to create a space where only your concerns are talked about.
- How do I know if I can benefit from therapy?
Therapy can benefit anyone and everyone looking to improve their mental health. This includes your everyday emotional experiences, relationships, productivity, and much more. Most people find a lot of value in having a supportive and confidential space to explore their thoughts and feelings.
Therapy can help you manage mental health conditions, cope with stress, improve relationships, overcome trauma, deal with life transitions, and gain personal insight and self-awareness.
- How do I know if my partner and I can benefit from couples therapy?
Couples therapy can benefit couples at any and every stage of a relationship. It is a common misconception that you should go for couples therapy only if you are facing issues in your relationship. At Moon Minds, we believe in helping our clients build a solid foundation for their relationships. This means, starting the work as early as possible.
Couples therapy benefits you and your partner by providing a structured, neutral space to explore issues, enhance understanding, and develop healthier relationship patterns. This can strengthen your connection and improve your overall relationship satisfaction.
- How many therapy sessions do I need?
With therapy, the number of sessions required is subjective. It depends on your goals, concerns, and the amount of effort you can put into your growth and healing between sessions. It is important to remember that therapy takes time and work, it is not a quick fix. So give the process some time and you will see progress.
- How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy differs based on whether you are looking for couples therapy or individual therapy, and the qualifications and expertise of therapists. At Moon Minds, we have a team of therapists who are suitable for different budgets and requirements.
- How do I find the right therapist?
You should look at different therapists and their qualifications, areas of expertise, and approaches to therapy to see if they meet your requirements. All therapists at Moon Minds have extensive profile pages which will answer your questions about them. That should give you an idea about which therapist would be best suited for you.
