Question: I have tried psychotherapy in the past without as much success as I would have liked. I would like to try again but how do I find a better therapist?
Not every therapist is right for every client so choosing the right therapist for yourself is essential. After the basic competence of the therapist, it is the relationship between the therapist and client that matters most. You need to find someone with whom you can build an effective therapeutic relationship. Fortunately there are usually enough choices, so consider several and find one that feels right to you.
