How many sessions does a person need with a psychologist?

Every person has a different journey through therapy. It depends on why they are seeing a psychologist and what they are hoping to get out of the sessions. Sometimes seeing a psychologist becomes a permanent part of someone’s life or they only need a session or two.

What should I expect from my first session?

Every psychologist in Mokopane has their own process and it usually depends on the kind of therapy that they offer. This is the general process of the first session: -Complete forms and paperwork that require you to consent to the services, approve of the terms and conditions and provide personal details. This is a brief process and it shouldn’t take up too much of your time. -If you have been referred by a GP, psychiatrist or specialist in Mokopane, the psychologist will discuss the details of your referral and mental health treatment plan. -The therapist will listen to your concerns and try to explore relevant background history. For example, they will try to learn about your family, social relationships, work history and any counselling that you might have done in the past. -Based on your background history, they will help you to understand more about what might be triggering your current issues. Furthermore, if the time allows, the psychologist can help you to develop a collaborative and flexible plan for future therapy sessions.

What is the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist?

Psychologists are health professionals that use “talk therapy” as a means of helping people. In order to become a registered psychologist, they must complete an undergraduate degree, an Honours degree and a Master’s degree. Once that’s been completed, they’ll need to complete practical training and register with the Health Professions Council of South Africa. Psychologists in Mokopane help people with everyday concerns such as stress and relationship difficulties, as well as mental health issues. Contrastingly, psychiatrists have completed a medical degree and further training related to the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness. Psychiatrists in Mokopane specialise in the medical treatment of mental illness and they are authorised to prescribe medication. Some psychiatrists combine medication with therapy.

Do I need a referral to see a psychologist?

No, you do not need a referral to see a psychologist in Mokopane. You are welcome to book an appointment if you feel that you could benefit from the services. However, if you decide to do this you might need to pay the full amount for your sessions out of your own pocket.

How long are sessions with a psychologist?

How does confidentiality work with a psychologist?

All information that you disclose in your session is confidential. There are only two exceptions to this rule. Firstly, if you are at risk of harming yourself or others, they will be required to alert the relevant people. Secondly, if they are ordered by court to disclose certain information, they will have to do so.
