Ideally, in addition to his\/her academic studies in psychology , he\/she needs to have specialized in a psychotherapeutic approach and be in ongoing treatment and supervision himself\/herself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Experience:<\/strong> Look at the psychotherapist&#8217;s background. Experience in similar issues can be valuable.<br \/>\n<strong>Approach:<\/strong> consider the psychotherapist&#8217;s way of working and his or her approach to therapy.
