Individual Therapy Based on Your Individual Needs
At some point in life, it is expected you will experience a time when you may be struggling to cope and may need a listening ear to help you process how you are feeling and gain insight and guidance on how to move forward. This is a very common human experience and a therapeutic relationship can help to ground you in order to accelerate the process of healing. Individual Counselling can be a very powerful and growth-enhancing experience for Individual Psychology. It takes courage but once you commit to the process, the benefits of Individual therapy are invaluable and life-changing.
Individual therapy is one-on-one and is offered in a safe, confidential space in order for you to express how you are feeling without judgement. We take a client-centered approach and work collaboratively with you – meaning you will only share what you feel like sharing until you feel comfortable. We respect your boundaries and to pace the session based on your individual needs.

What exactly does individual counselling mean?
It’s a one-on-one session with a Registered Psychotherapist and you. It’s similar to receiving expert guidance on personal matters while receiving therapy in a private setting. They go into your past, participate in some intense private conversations, and discover what drives you. The goal? to collaboratively explore your mental health concerns (e.g., anxiety, stress, depression, etc.), create personalized aims, and pursue those life-improving changes. It’s a safe space where you can express yourself, solve issues, and gain a deeper understanding of who you are.
How's individual therapy different from group therapy?
Consider it a solo performance vs a group show. Working on your personal concerns alone with the therapist in one-on-one therapy is like performing on your own. On the other hand, group therapy is more akin to a shared playlist where you and everyone else can discuss identical subjects and experiences. Each has benefits of their own, so do what makes you happy.
What kind of issues can individual counselling tackle?
To manage your emotions, behaviours, and thoughts, individual therapy is akin to having your own personal mentor. It’s the best approach for handling tension, hopelessness, worry, grief, and life’s twists and turns. For you and your goal, psychotherapists in Toronto can provide interesting as well as effective solutions.
How do therapists customize counselling?
As no two people are the same, there is no one-solution-fits-all here. Therapists in Toronto will provide you with customized remedies depending on what you need. It’s identical to a psychological outfit fitting, where they can use different modalities, such as CBT or psychodynamic therapy, to fit your character.
How long does individual counselling last?
Building relationships, assessment, goal-setting, intervention, and termination are the five steps. What is the time frame? So, just as no one shoe fits all, no single journey is the same. Some will achieve what they want in a few sessions, while others will continue until they are completely satisfied. It is entirely up to you how much input you give.
How often should I hit up these sessions?
In the initial stages, it’s similar to a weekly therapy session, but your therapist can suggest more or less depending on what’s wrong and how quickly you heal. It can start with monthly sessions and grow as you offer your all.
How do I benefit from therapy?
Finding the meaning of your life via therapy counselling is like delving into your beliefs, values, and past experiences. Whether you’re feeling low or just off, it helps you tighten your grip on those emotions. Keep it real, set some realistic goals, and show up to sessions on time. In order to speed up your recovery process, your therapist will also provide you with some exercises. The cover-up? Put your all into it!
How do I know if my therapist is best for me?
It’s all about that connection, the one we feel and create. You should have a positive and fruitful conversation with your therapist, with the same degree of back and forth. With a genuine concern for your well-being, a therapist can serve as your strongest supporter. A perfect treatment match with the same amount of empathy, understanding, and a nonjudgmental zone. If you’re unsure, ask your therapist a hundred times. The key to good therapy is to keep it authentic!
