Frequently Asked Questions
How does Psychotherapy work?
Psychotherapy is a process of developing a deeper understanding of yourself within a safe, confidential, and supportive therapeutic environment. Over time, it helps you recognise and understand your thoughts, emotions, and inner challenges, fostering greater self-awareness and creating the foundation for a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
How do I know if Psychotherapy is right for me?
Many people are unsure whether psychotherapy is the right choice or whether it is the right time to begin. The first sessions provide an opportunity to explore your needs, gain a clearer understanding of what you are seeking at this stage of your life, and determine whether psychotherapy can offer the support that is most beneficial for you.
What can I expect from the first session?
The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and explore your needs. We will discuss what has brought you to therapy and consider how the therapeutic process may best support you.
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes. Online sessions are available and are conducted with the same level of professionalism, consistency, confidentiality, and therapeutic quality as in-person sessions.
How long does Psychotherapy usually last?
The duration of psychotherapy is not predetermined. It depends on your individual needs, goals, personal circumstances, and the pace that feels right for you.
How often are sessions held and how long do they last?
Sessions are typically held on a weekly basis, as regularity and consistency are important in supporting the therapeutic process. Each session lasts approximately 45–50 minutes.
Are sessions confidential?
Yes. All sessions are strictly confidential and are conducted in accordance with the ethical standards and professional code of conduct governing psychological practice.
How can I book an appointment?
You can contact me by phone or through the contact form https://drnikosilia.com/contact/ to arrange an initial appointment.
Are sessions covered by GESY?
Therapy sessions are provided on a private basis and are therefore not covered by GESY. However, some private health insurance providers may offer reimbursement or coverage depending on your policy. Please contact your insurance provider directly for further information.
