If you’ve had therapy before and it didn’t go as you hoped, you’re not alone. Many people seek help with the best intentions, only to walk away feeling unheard, unsupported, or worse – disheartened. A bad therapy experience can leave you doubting whether therapy can truly help you. But it’s important to remember: one experience does not define all therapy.
At D9 Therapy, we believe in the power of fresh starts. Your past experience may have been disappointing, but it doesn’t mean that meaningful healing and growth aren’t possible for you. Here's why you shouldn’t let a previous negative experience hold you back – and why reaching out to us could change everything.
Why Bad Therapy Happens
Therapy is a deeply personal journey, and sometimes, a therapist or approach simply isn’t the right fit. It might have been:
A mismatch in personality or communication style.
A lack of understanding or compassion from your therapist.
A method or technique that didn’t resonate with your needs.
Unrealistic expectations set at the start of the process.
Whatever the reason, it’s okay to feel hurt or discouraged. Acknowledge those feelings, but don’t let them convince you that therapy, as a whole, isn’t for you.
Your Experience Matters
We understand how difficult it can be to trust again after a bad experience. That’s why we prioritize a compassionate, client-centered approach. Your feelings, goals, and boundaries will always come first. Therapy isn’t about forcing solutions or rushing progress – it’s about building a partnership and creating a safe space where you feel truly seen and heard.
What Makes D9 Therapy Different?
1. Tailored Support
No two journeys are alike. We take the time to understand what you need, adapting our methods to meet you where you are. All of our therapists are experienced, and different from each other, so do have a look through our therapist profiles and pick someone who you like, or think you will work well with.
2. A Safe and Judgement-Free Space
If you’ve been let down before, stepping into therapy again can feel daunting. At D9 Therapy, we aim to make the process as comfortable and open as possible, so you feel empowered to explore your emotions without fear of judgment. We can have a phone call with you to discuss ny concerns you may have or write hack to you about any concerns that you may have. We link you up with a therapist that will best match your needs, based in their experience, personality, and approaches.
3. Experienced and Compassionate Therapists
Our team is dedicated to creating meaningful, authentic connections with clients. We know how important it is to feel respected, valued, and understood. If you didn't resonate with a therapist, than we will link you up with another, until you have found your ideal match.
4. Your Voice Leads the Way
Therapy should never feel like something being done to you – it’s a collaboration. Your voice, your needs, and your goals are at the heart of everything we do.
It’s Okay to Try Again
Healing is not a straight line, and there’s no shame in reaching out for help, even if you’ve been let down before. A bad experience doesn’t mean you’re “too much,” “too broken,” or that therapy isn’t for you. It simply means you haven’t found the right fit yet. In a way, the experience taught you what you don't need/like, and leads you closer to getting the right help for yourself.
Starting again can feel vulnerable, but it’s also an act of incredible courage. By seeking support, you’re giving yourself permission to grow, heal, and thrive.
