INTERVIEW: NIAMH

WHAT THERAPY IS REALLY LIKE

Niamh is a Shona ambassador, and she very kindly shared her experience of personal therapy with us. Trying anything for the first time can be daunting, so hearing from someone like Niamh might help to put your mind at ease.

Recently, I attended my first personal therapy session, so I wanted to share my experience with all you lovely ladies. I want to let anyone who is struggling know that it’s okay not to be okay (cliché) and that reaching out for help is really brave! This post isn’t going to be about me and my first therapy session. It’s going to be for others who might not know where to start and it will hopefully act as a guide if they think they might need personal therapy.

First of all, what exactly is therapy?

Well, individual therapy involves you sitting down one-on-one with a therapist and talking about whatever you want to talk about. Therapy can provide you with a safe space to let out some thoughts and untangle some messy things that might be going on in your head. Therapists are trained to listen in a non-judgemental and non-directive way. This means that they won’t be able to tell you exactly what to do or provide you with all the answers. Instead they allow you to explore your own thought processes and come to your own conclusions, with some subtle guidance.
