It’s a crucial phase where trust is established and the foundation for a tailored therapeutic plan is created. The goal is to ensure the process is personalized and aligned with your needs.

Discovery Phase

The discovery phase emphasizes building a strong connection with your therapist while identifying key challenges that need to be addressed. During this phase, you will explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in a safe and judgment-free environment. This stage focuses on gaining insights into patterns, uncovering underlying issues, and setting priorities for your sessions to create a clear direction for the journey ahead.

The working phase is where the active therapy begins. Practical strategies are applied here to address challenges, develop coping mechanisms, and work toward your goals. This phase is highly collaborative, involving open communication and consistent effort to make progress. Whether learning new skills or tackling specific obstacles, this is the phase where tangible growth happens, guided by professional support.
