Understanding Face-to-Face Therapy

What Is Face-to-Face Therapy?

Face-to-face therapy, also known as in-person therapy, is when you physically attend a clinic for scheduled appointments with your therapist to receive mental health support. Unlike online therapy conducted via video call, face-to-face therapy takes place in a dedicated therapeutic space where you and your therapist meet in the same room.

In-person therapy at our Newcastle clinics provides the traditional therapeutic experience many people prefer. Being physically present in a comfortable, confidential environment can help you feel more connected to your therapist and more able to open up about difficult feelings and experiences.

Face-to-face therapy sessions typically last 50-60 minutes and take place in private therapy rooms designed specifically for psychological work. The therapeutic relationship—the connection between you and your therapist—is fundamental to successful therapy, and many people find this develops more naturally through in-person contact.

Our professionally trained and experienced therapists are equipped to help you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and worries during face-to-face sessions. The privacy and confidentiality of our Newcastle clinic settings ensure you can speak freely without concerns about being overheard or interrupted.
