What issues can counselling help with?
At Mindology Wellness Centre our team of therapists and psychologists are experienced at working with a wide range of issues. Services are provided for adults, adolescents, children and couples. We work with any mental health issues and life challenges. Please do not hesitate to get in touch and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have and match you to the most suitable therapist.
How do I start with a counsellor or psychotherapist?
If you would like to find out any information or to book an appointment, please contact the Centre. You will be matched to a therapist who will then contact you directly to make an appointment at a time that suits you best. At the initial appointment you will have a chance to meet the therapist, gather information and get an understanding of what to expect. A plan for therapy is then agreed, carried out and reviewed as necessary, with follow-up sessions if required.
Will my sessions be covered by my health insurance?
It is important to check your policy with your insurance provider to see if your sessions may be covered. Receipts are issued on request at the end of each therapy session.
How do I know which therapist is best for me?
The therapists on the Mindology Team have different levels of experience and expertise in a wide variety of issues. Check out all their information on this website and feel free to get in touch and ask us any questions. Our team will be happy to match you with the most suitable therapist for you.
What if I don’t feel my therapist is a good fit for me?
At Mindology we place huge emphasis on therapeutic relationship and know how important it is to feel like your therapist is a good fit for you. The therapeutic work happens through this relationship and it is necessary to feel safe and connected to your therapist. If you feel that your therapist is not the right one for one then do not hesitate to get in touch with us and an alternative appointment can be made for you with a different therapist.
How many sessions of therapy will I need?
The first number of sessions with your therapist will be to get to know you and gather a detailed history of your presenting issues and life experiences. The therapist may have more of an idea following this of how many sessions may be required. There are many factors that determine number of sessions required and this is often on an individual basis. Some clients attend Mindology for a short period of time e.g. six sessions and some attend for many months.
Will my therapy sessions be confidential?
Each therapist is bound by their professional organisation’s ethical rules which include confidentiality and client safety. Confidentiality will be discussed with you at your initial session and any questions will be answered and concerns clarified.
Will my therapist be qualified?
All therapists are qualified and accredited or pre-accredited by their respective accrediting bodies. Low-cost therapists have completed some but not all of their training.
How often will I need to go to therapy?
Usually weekly sessions are recommended to begin with and this can then be reviewed with your therapist on an ongoing basis. Often this depends on the individual and the issues being experienced.
Does my GP need to refer me for an appointment?
No, you can self-refer to Mindology Wellness Centre.
Can a therapist prescribe medication if I need it?
No, as therapists we do not diagnose or prescribe medication. Your GP or Psychiatrist can help with this.
Is there parking nearby?
Yes, there is free parking right outside the Centre.
