Personal Therapy
Personal therapy can be a requirement of a therapy training course and part of becoming accredited as a therapist. Having engaged in personal therapy as part of my own journey to qualify as a psychotherapist in CAT, I have some understanding of how it feels to have personal therapy and the benefits of this process.

There may be some anxieties about having therapy with another psychologist or therapist, but personal therapy can offer an opportunity to engage in self-care, to enhance self-reflection as a therapist and to experience what it might be like to ‘sit in the other chair’.
“The act of revealing oneself fully to another and still being accepted may be the major vehicle of therapeutic help.”
Irvin D. Yalom
Experienced in therapy for professionals
I have experience of providing therapy to a number of clinical psychology trainees and qualified clinical/forensic psychologists, as well as personal therapy to trainee CAT practitioners and psychotherapists. I can also provide personal therapy if you are training in another modality and would like to experience CAT as a therapy.
Some possible reasons for engaging in a personal therapy include:
- Recognising and working on unhelpful patterns of relating
- Self-development or personal growth
- Increasing self-awareness and reflective capacity
- Developing an understanding of the therapeutic model
- Knowing what it is like to experience being a client – to ‘sit in the other chair’
- Understanding and processing distress of previous experiences or life events
- Requirement of training
