There are many different schools of therapy (Psychoanalysis, Cognitive-Behavioural, Systemic, etc.), which one should you choose? It partly depends on what you expect: you could ask a therapist what school he/she represents. However, research has shown that this isn’t the deciding factor for therapeutic success – what matters just as much, if not more, is that the chemistry is good. It is very important that you feel comfortable with the therapist from the first session onwards. Listen to your instinct! If you don’t feel like you can trust him/her, you should look elsewhere.
