In individual therapy people focus on issues that trouble them. They locate points of difficulty, knots and tangles, and become aware of sides of themselves they previously ignored. They learn to recognize emotions, express them and explore alternative ways of looking at and dealing with things.
Sessions usually take place on a weekly basis and last for one hour, at the day and time agreed upon by client and therapist. The relationship that develops between them is based on trust, acceptance, and confidentiality.
