Therapy Goals

Therapy Goals

You may be thinking about attending therapy.   Or you might have started counselling or psychotherapy.  Deciding on your objective(s) for the therapy process is helpful by writing your goals. What would you like to achieve – what is the end result, when you look back, how will you know that your time in counselling, psychotherapy or with a psychologist has been beneficial?
