Ever sat in therapy and wondered, “What are they thinking right now?”
Are we analysing every word?
Judging your life choices?
Mentally writing a novel about you?
Not quite.
Here’s the honest answer: we are always thinking of ways to best support you.
Not judging. Not over-analysing every little thing you say. Just focused on what you need in that moment—whether that’s space, validation, or a gentle nudge forward.
And here’s something people don’t talk about enough…
Sometimes we relate to our client’s experiences and feelings.
Not in a way that takes the focus off you—but in a quiet, human way. We’ve had our own moments of overthinking, self-doubt, and emotional ups and downs too.
Because therapy isn’t about having it all together. It’s about having a space where you don’t have to. A space where you can show up exactly as you are—messy thoughts, conflicting feelings, and all.
So if you’ve ever wondered what a therapist thinks about during a session, it’s often:
“How can I best support you right now?”
