What’s the best way to learn?

Question: “How do I grow as a new therapist? ” As a new therapist, I’m struggling to know which therapy model is the best fit for me. My basic training has been in CBT, and I’ve explored DBT and ACT, as well as the more humanistic, person-centred approaches.  It feels like there’s so much to […]

How can I deal with being triggered by my client?

Question: “How can I deal with countertransference during sessions with clients who trigger me? ” This doesn’t happen often, but I notice I react when clients share their experiences of their partner, which I perceive to be unfair (and sometimes a little hypocritical).  I’m aware these are my perceptions and that I’m reading into what the […]

When I asked her to elaborate, she said that I was “confronting the client” instead of […]

I’m struggling to deal with my client’s criticisms

Question: “I’m sorry if my problems are causing you stress. Isn’t this supposed to be my therapy session?” I’ve been working with a client for a few months now, and his main issue is relationship conflict with his partner who, according to him, places unfair demands on the relationship and doesn’t listen to him. As […]

I’m stuck trying to help my stuck client

Question: “I don’t know what I need from therapy – but I know I need help!” I’ve been working with a client for a couple of months now and we’re still not clear on what the client needs from therapy. In our initial session, I tried to set some goals and aims, but he said that […]
