Start with your concern: formulate exactly what is troubling you, and check whether the specialist lists this topic in their profile. Then compare education, certifications, experience, price, and available format. After the first meeting, pay attention to whether you feel safe and whether you feel judged: this matters no less than diplomas. If you don’t click, it’s perfectly normal to try another specialist.
The first session is an introduction. The specialist will ask about your needs, and together you will determine what you want to achieve and what the work will look like. You can also ask about methods, experience, session frequency, and cancellation policies. No special preparation is needed, but it can be helpful to write down in advance what is troubling you.
Yes, confidentiality is the foundation of a psychologist’s and psychotherapist’s work: the content of the conversation remains between you and the specialist. The boundaries of confidentiality, including in the event of a threat to life, should be discussed at the first meeting. For an online consultation, choose a place where no one can hear you.
