Individual Therapy for Every County in Liberia.

If someone unexpectedly enters your space during a session you can simply turn off your camera until you have privacy again. Your therapist will understand and wait for you to return. For this reason, we recommend choosing a private location for sessions and if possible using headphones so your conversation isn't overheard.

Yes, extensive research shows that online therapy is equally effective as in-person therapy for most mental health conditions. Multiple studies published in peer-reviewed journals have found no significant difference in treatment outcomes between online and in-person formats for anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and most other mental health diagnoses or concerns. In some cases, online therapy is even more effective because it eliminates barriers like travel time, scheduling difficulties, and access to specialists that wouldn’t otherwise be easily available. The key factors in therapy effectiveness are the therapeutic relationship, evidence-based techniques, and consistent attendance, which are all present in our online therapy sessions.

Yes, therapy can definitely help you address self-esteem challenges. Your therapist will help you identify where the low self esteem is coming from and what are the right approaches whether cognitive, behavioral or psychodynamic in nature to address these recurring feelings that keep on holding you back. Online therapy will help you build genuine confidence over time. It will likely require deep work on your beliefs about yourself and isn’t a simple quick fix. You’ll learn how to identify these unhealthy thought patterns and challenge negative self-talk, so that you can have a healthier perspective on things. Most people notice improvement in their self-esteem within 3-6 months of consistent therapy.

This is normal, and many people worry about being judged at first. This fear is likely holding you back and may be even a barrier for you seeking therapy in the first place. Therapists are specifically trained to be non-judgemental and they hear about all kinds of challenges all day long. So rest assured that any adept therapist will meet you with compassion and empathy. You don’t have to open up about everything right away, but you will go at your own pace and build trust over time. Being vulnerable in therapy is one of the many benefits that leads to sustained progress over time rather than keeping everything bottled up, so it's important to have someone you can trust to speak with and that they can provide professional guidance to you to help navigate all kinds of challenging situations.

Yes, many people continue therapy as part of their wellness routine. You don’t just stop going to the gym after you see results, but it's typically about how can you maintain the consistency to see sustained results over time. Many people continue with ongoing support to prevent relapse and work on personal growth, or to manage chronic conditions. So you can continue therapy for as long as you're benefiting and the duration at which you partake in therapy is totally a personal decision. Your therapy or treatment plan can likely change over time, and the topics that you're focusing on can certainly be different at different junctures. So trust what’s best for you, and if you want your therapist to weigh in on whether you should continue, stop, or do something different they can absolutely be a sounding board to discuss that through with you and help you make an informed decision.

Yes. Grouport serves clients all over the world. We work with people in the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, Europe, Middle East, Asia, and elsewhere.

We offer session times at all times of the day for both individual and group therapy, so we can get you set up with sessions at times that are convenient for your schedule.

Many of our therapists are bilingual or they speak other languages, so it's just a matter of the therapist. So, we probably do have a therapist who speaks your native language. However, Grouport primarily offers therapy in English, so if you speak english you’ll definitely be good. Our group sessions are also predominantly done in English. If you're comfortable discussing your emotions and experiences in English, therapy can work well even if it's not your first language and you’re not perfect at it. Ultimately, it's more important to work with a quality therapist who specializes in your needs even if there are some gaps in communication due to language barriers. Let us know what language support you need and we’ll discuss the therapist options we have for you.

If you've genuinely tried for 12+ sessions and seen zero improvement, it may be a sign that you need a different therapist. Perhaps you need a different approach or different modality. Perhaps you need greater intensiveness combining multiple types of therapy like individual therapy and group therapy, or you need a comprehensive treatment plan that tackles different parts of your symptoms or diagnoses. Before concluding therapy isn't helping, ask yourself. Have you been consistent? Are you practicing skills outside sessions? Have you been honest with your therapist? How does the therapist fit feel? What do you feel like is missing from your care? Discuss lack of progress with your therapist and these different things and they might adjust the approach to better suit your needs. Usually there is a way to get things on a better track whether that's the current therapist adjusting the approach, switching therapists, or adding more sessions or types of care so that your treatment plan is fully addressing everything you need. With therapy overtime and consistent practice you should see progress over time.
