Why therapy works

​Therapy offers a person a reflective space away from friends, family and colleagues with a skilled professional within a safe environment. Research has shown that regardless of the therapeutic orientation, it is the relationship with the therapist that offers the potential for transformation:

  • through valuing and respecting each client
  • appreciating the variety of their human experiences, culture and beliefs
  • protecting the safety of the client
  • offering confidentiality in a non-judgmental space
  • respecting the client’s rights to be self-governing
  • ensuring the integrity of a practitioner-client relationship
 
The value of relating with integrity and the co-constructing of meaning that take place in the context of trust cannot be underestimated. Truth-telling is an essential facet of our humanity. Sharing our experiences in a safe non-judgmental environment where it is held and acknowledged is both cathartic and healing.
