If you have been working with a therapist for several sessions or longer and feel it’s no longer working well for you, we would recommend talking with your therapist in the first instance.

It could be that you are on the verge of a difficult breakthrough that is causing a need to run away (this is a very common response in therapy). It might also be that the therapist can change their approach to better suit your current needs, as these will often change over time during a therapeutic relationship.

Of course, sometimes a therapist just isn’t the right fit and that’s all there is to it. Their approach might not be right for you, your personalities might not mesh well together, or you might just be ready for a change if you have been working together for a long time.

An honest chat means your therapist may be able to suggest different types of therapists or types of therapy that would work better for you, allowing us to then suggest other therapists who could be better suited.

We do also offer a guarantee on the Platform, so if you are early on in the therapeutic relationship, we will offer to cover the cost of an initial session with a different therapist if the first therapist you meet with is not a good match.

We have more information about this option here.
