What happens during an appointment with a Psychologist?
A. What happens during an appointment depends greatly on the nature of the problem or the issue. Usually, the psychologist will encourage you to explain what kind of help you think you need, and talk with you to help you get a clear idea of the problem and what kinds of options there are for dealing with the problem. Psychologists may also assist you to implement some changes to your situation or how you think about things to further reduce the likelihood of these problems resurfacing in the future. Compared to counselling, Psychologists are likely to take a more in-depth and longer-term approach to assisting you with your difficulties. In some cases, psychological tests may also be used to assist the Psychologist to develop an accurate understanding of your difficulties and implement therapeutic interventions appropriately.
