Feeling able to trust your clinician, speak openly and explore difficult experiences is an important part of treatment.

In this video Dr Andrew Howe, Consultant Psychiatrist and Psychotherapist, explores why the therapeutic relationship matters in both psychiatry and psychotherapy.

The discussion considers how an honest, human connection can help clients feel comfortable opening up, receiving feedback and considering patterns they may not have recognised themselves.

At the heart of this relationship is trust: knowing that a clinician’s observations and suggestions come from a shared commitment to understanding your experiences and helping you move forward.
