How do I know if my psychologist is right for me?

Hi all,

I have previously seen a psychologist before but have decided to change to a different one.

I felt like I wasn't getting anything out of the sessions and she only diagnosed me with depression/anxiety several months after seeing me. I had an idea that I might've been experiencing it for a while, but I don't think she even realised what I was going through and just assumed I was a moody teen.

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone has any tips as to how I can recognise whether this new psychologist is right for me when I go for my first appointment next week? (I don't want to waste time like last time). For some reason, I get lost when I go into a session and can't remember what's wrong with me and then sort of forget what we talked about in the session once it's over.

So what signs can I look for to make sure she's right for me so I actually get something out the sessions.

Thanks, Imogen 🙂
