"It Felt Like I Was Being Tailored to the Treatment Rather Than the Treatment Being Tailored to Me": Patient Experiences of Helpful and Unhelpful Psychotherapy.
Objective: This qualitative study explores patients' experiences of psychotherapy, focusing on elements perceived as helpful or unhelpful and suggestions for improvement in the context of public mental health care.
Methods: A total of 148 adults (Mean age = 32.24, SD = 9.92) who had been or are currently receiving psychological treatment from the National Health Service (NHS) responded to an online survey. The survey included open-ended questions regarding their experiences of psychotherapy, asking them to identify helpful or unhelpful aspects, and suggestions for improvement. Using thematic analysis, key themes were identified.
Results: The analysis highlighted the patient's preference for personalized treatment, the importance of therapeutic alliance, the demand for depth in therapy, and life skills and agency as therapeutic outcomes. Participants suggested improvements such as more tailored approaches and stronger therapist-patient relationships, supporting an adaptable, patient-centered model.
Conclusion: The study highlights challenges in public mental health services where patients might feel their specific needs are not being recognized and met and underscores the importance of personalized treatment plans that satisfy and evolve with patient needs, suggesting that therapists must be attentive and responsive to individual desires to enhance the patient experience.
