What to expect during your first online therapy session?

The Problem

“What is you psychological  problem you would like me help with?” – your therapist may ask you. We’ll try to clarify what do you want from therapy.

Situations

Next, we’ll look for examples. How does your problem show up in everyday life situations? So we can better understand how to help you. 

Feelings

You can start experiencing feelings and thoughts conected to your problem. Can we better understand and express your feelings? 

Anxiety

Usually when we address something emotionally difficult and ask for help we experience some level of anxiety. Can you recognize your anxiety? Can we regulate it together?

Defences / avoidance

What are your usual ways of avoiding your psychological problems, your anxiety and your feelings? Can we find out and change it?

Piotr Szmyt

My name is Piotr Szmyt. I am a psychotherapist (iedta.net) and interpersonal trainer.

My approach in psychotherapy combines a psychodynamic perspective with a more body-focused intense short dynamic therapy (ISTDP).

In therapy, I value both empathy and directness. Sometimes what helps in the therapeutic process are warmth and acceptance and other times confrontation and clear perspective.

You can get to know my approach to the therapeutic relationship in the first consultation session.
