Yes, I think there has to be a combination between questions about their methods and asking them if they think they could help me with my issues. Believes and therapeutic orientation tells quite a lot about a T.
Some of the T:s Iīve seen work with quite different methods or approaches. For example dance therapy/rythmics therapy, body therapy and so on and itīs then necessary to find out what approaches they see fit me. For example, I would never start a therapy based on dance.

would asking specifically how a t thinks they could help you with whatever your presenting issues are be more helpful than asking what methods they use? At least for myself, I would prefer a T that feels confident they have enough resources at hand to pull from any method that might be helpful, rather than a T that was very regimented and knowledgable in only one approach.
just a thought. I know some people want a specific approach, and that's fine too (either becuase they have had a good experience with it, or because it is known to work for thier issues).
