Individualized Counseling Sessions

What Is Individual Therapy?

Individual therapy, also known as psychotherapy or counseling, is a process through which clients work one-on-one with a trained therapist in a safe, caring, and confidential environment.

It's an opportunity to explore feelings, beliefs, and behaviors, work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of life that you would like to change, better understand yourself and others, set personal goals, and work towards desired change.

Individual therapy offers a non-judgemental space for personal growth.

How Can Individualized Counseling Help?

Individual therapy can be beneficial for a wide range of psychological issues, including, but not limited to:

Depression and anxiety
Stress management
Relationship challenges
Grief and loss
Life transitions
Addiction & Recovery
Trauma and PTSD
Anger management

By engaging in individual therapy, clients can expect to gain deeper insight into their personal dynamics, develop coping strategies for dealing with emotional stress, and work on improving their overall mental health and quality of life.

What Clients are Saying

“When my mom passed, I couldn’t handle it. People kept telling me to see a professional and I kept refusing — I used to say that’s for crazy people, and I’m not crazy. Eventually I made the call. I have been riding the waves of life with her ever since. Grief never goes away for me, but I have found coping mechanisms, and I keep going.”

— Client, Antigua & Barbuda

“I had tried therapy before, but since working with Dr. Benn-Dubois, I have developed a much better understanding of myself. She is knowledgeable, flexible and takes the time to find approaches that work for me. I also appreciate how direct and honest she is. There is no unnecessary fluff, and I always feel heard, supported and understood.”

— Client, Antigua & Barbuda

“From the very beginning, I felt heard, understood and supported in a safe and non-judgmental environment. Her compassionate approach, professionalism and genuine care have helped me gain valuable insight and develop healthier ways of managing life’s challenges.”

— Client, Antigua & Barbuda

Please reach us at jeanmachelle@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What is individualized counseling, and how is it different from general therapy?

Individualized counseling is a personalized approach to therapy that focuses on your unique needs, goals, and emotional challenges. Unlike general therapy models, individualized counseling sessions are customized based on your life experiences, personality, and therapeutic preferences to ensure the most effective support.

What issues can be addressed in individual counseling sessions?

Individual counseling sessions can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, identity exploration, trauma, stress, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Each session is tailored to meet your current emotional and mental health needs.

How long do individual counseling sessions typically last, and how often do I need to attend?

Standard sessions last 45–60 minutes. Many clients begin with weekly sessions and adjust the frequency based on progress and therapeutic goals. Some may also schedule periodic check-ins for maintenance after completing a course of counseling.

Is individual counseling confidential?

Yes. All individual counseling sessions are private and strictly confidential. Your therapist will explain any exceptions to confidentiality during your first session, such as those required by law for safety concerns.

How do I know if individual counseling is right for me?

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or struggling with a specific emotional challenge, individual counseling may be right for you. It offers a safe, judgment-free space to explore your thoughts, understand your behaviors, and develop new strategies for coping and growth.
