About this title

Synopsis

In this new addition to the very popular ‘Straight Talking Introductions’ series, two experienced psychotherapists provide a simple, factual, objective explanation of what you get when you seek therapy. Based on the latest research, this book tells you what works (and doesn’t work), how it works, what you should look for from therapy and your therapist, and what to do if it isn’t helping. With more than 500 different types of talking therapy on offer, mostly provided in the private sector, it can be a bewildering experience trying to find what will best help you with your problems. But therapy does work, and this essential guide will help you get the most from what it offers.

Reviews

If you want to find the right therapist for you, read this book first.

Richard Moriarty – The Sun

The best guide out there to getting the most from therapy. Clear, concise and well-researched. Chris Riches – Daily Express

Writing this wonderful book, Johnston and Wotton have created an invaluable resource for anyone thinking of therapy, to best position them to walk through the door (or log in online) with more confidence and understanding of what might happen. This compelling and highly-readable book might be seen as the first part of therapy itself, in equipping the client with insight, knowledge and autonomy as take their first steps.

Professor Andrew Reeves

Graham Johnston and Matt Wotton are therapists on a mission to explain the world of the mind and how therapy can help many of us live more satisfying lives. Avoiding jargon, this short book accurately explains what talking therapy is like and can achieve, as well as highlighting relevant research… I sense that their inclusive, readable style will convert many readers to take the plunge and look for a therapist of their own.
