The Reasons People Seek Therapy

We are building a new resource for the website that focuses on the circumstances that bring people to therapy. The general understanding is that we humans seek out a therapist because we need help with a personal problem. But there are also those who are not especially worried or feeling stuck. 

They may instead be looking to reflect on their life thus far. And in the process of doing that, get to know themselves in ways that may not be otherwise possible. 

If you have a keen interest in a particular subject and you have the requisite qualifications to write on that subject, we invite you to submit a one-page proposal for consideration. Please include time-frame for completing the piece, and examples of your writing published on your website, in professional journals or elsewhere.

Topics

  • Health, Lifestyle and Wellbeing
  • Relationships
  • Family and Parenting, Family of Origin
  • Workplace
  • Existential Questions
  • Identity and Social Cohesion
  • Environmental Issues
  • International Relations and World Pain/Peace
  • Self-awareness and Understanding | Know Thyself

What is good therapy? 

A Philosophical Enquiry: Practitioners talk about becoming a therapist, honing their unique approach to therapy, and the life experiences that shaped their views on what constitutes "good" therapy. 

These memoir-style essays are published on the website and will be considered for Good Therapy's Journal (print publication). They will also be shared in the Quarterly newsletter (March, June, September, December) and on social media.

Answers to Questions 

We are looking for practitioners to provide answers to the questions we receive. These questions are different to the 10 Questions on your profile. They're about therapy and the meaning of life. 

You will find new questions posted on the Noticeboard in the practitioner area. 

You may also submit an answer to a Question that has been published:

Questions About Therapy

Published Answers include author's name which links to their Good Therapy profile. 

 

Print Publication

We are super excited about Good Therapy's new Journal. 

Work on the first issue is coming together -

  • We have an ethical printer. 
  • We decided on a high quality recycled paper.
  • We're researching the channels and logistics of distribution.
  • We're talking to writers, photographers, artists, poets, and philosophers.
  • We're making a list of potential partners.
  • We're planning a launch party in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth :)

But perhaps most importantly -

  • We're taking our time with this because we want to get it right.
  • We want to create something beautiful. Something thoughtful and meaningful.

So what kind of content are we looking for? 

We will consider

  • articles that address the reasons people engage in therapy
  • articles about the different approaches to therapy, the history and future of therapy
  • philosophical essays that ask existential questions
  • poetry, and visual art that explore the meaning of life
  • conversations and interviews
  • book reviews - film
  • and anything else that is deemed a suitable fit for a Journal such as this.

– First Issue is scheduled to go to print in January 2026, ready for launch in February.
A digital copy of the Journal will be available for readers online.

AI

Good Therapy's policy

Maybe we are old school in our views when it comes to writing.
While we understand that AI is everywhere and used in a myriad of ways, we remain cautious about its role in creating content, online or in print format.
Like any new innovation, AI has the potential for good and it also carries risks.
For this reason, our policy requires that all educational content be carefully researched and penned by a qualified professional who has sufficient expertise in the field in which they write. They must be able to lay claim to being the original author and include references where applicable.
We accept that AI based technology is often used to assist with research, and checking that any assertions are based on facts. It can also help with things like spelling and the formatting of an article. However, in the end, a piece must be written and edited by the person purported to be the author.
In short, we publish articles that have been written by and for real people.

Good Therapy® Australia's Psychotherapy Directory provides a place for Australians to learn about therapy and find a therapist who is a good fit.
