About this listen

Welcome to Thinking about therapy - I do it for a living but I wanted to talk to others to find out what they think, feel, know and question about therapy. Maybe others think it is a waste of time? What makes us go to therapy? What are people’s experiences of therapy? Why do we talk to others? Have you ever encouraged someone to attend? What would you like to know about therapy? These are questions not just about therapy, but about mental health in general. I am a strong believer that therapy does not have to take place sitting opposite each other in a room. In fact, I think therapy as we know it is changing. I am Dr Patricia Barber, a Counselling Psychologist passionate about all things related to our mental health. I am hoping to speak with a range of people from all walks of life about mental health and their thoughts on therapy.Copyright 2020 All rights reserved.

    In this shorter episode I talk about "How do you find a therapist?"

    Often the starting point for therapy is when we work out how we will find someone. In this episode I aim to give you a quick and informed overview of the various ways you can find someone if you begin the therapeutic journey.
