PREPARING FOR THERAPY

ABOUT THE COURSE

Preparing for Therapy is a self-paced course designed to help you better understand yourself, the therapeutic process, and what can support meaningful change. It offers a foundation for preparing for therapy — whether you’re waiting to begin, considering therapy but not quite ready to start, or already in therapy and wanting to better understand the process.

I originally wanted to create this course because I often have a waitlist in my counselling practice. I wanted people who felt ready to begin to have a meaningful way to use that waiting time. As the course developed, I realized it could also support people who are considering therapy and want to understand more before deciding whether or when to begin.

This course does not replace therapy. Instead, it covers many of the ideas I often explore with clients during the preparation and early stages of our work together. We look at why we respond the way we do, how our experiences can shape the way we see ourselves and the world, what supports emotional growth and change, and how we can gradually build greater awareness and tolerance for difficult emotions. We also explore the therapeutic process itself and some practical ways you can prepare for it.

My hope is that this course helps therapy feel a little more familiar and gives you a stronger foundation for the work ahead. And whether therapy is your next step or not, I hope you come away with a deeper understanding of yourself, more compassion for the ways you have learned to respond, and a clearer sense of what may support you as you move forward.
