Connected: Choosing a Therapist

It is important to consider the following points when deciding on not just the therapy you are interested in but also the person doing the treatment.

What benefits will this treatment offer you?
Be wary of cures or bold claims.
Enquire as to their experience of treating people with HIV.
Costs/fees can vary – some practitioners may have a sliding scale of fees.
Question the therapist’s qualifications. Find out if they have professional memberships and if this requires Continual Professional Development [CPD] so that their training and knowledge is built upon or refreshed. Check they have insurance.

Ask if they have testimonials from old/existing clients whom you can get in touch with.
