What is individual therapy?

Individual counselling, also known as one-on-one counselling or therapy, is a form of psychological or emotional support in which a trained therapist or counsellor meets with a single client to address their personal, emotional, behavioural, or mental health concerns.

This type of counselling involves a confidential and collaborative relationship between the client and the therapist, with the goal of helping the client better understand themselves, their challenges, and develop strategies to cope with or overcome their difficulties.

Some of the factors that contribute to successful therapy process are between therapist and client are:
