Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely. Feeling nervous is completely natural.

Starting therapy can bring up a mix of emotions, especially when you’re opening up about things that feel personal or difficult.

Whatever feels hard right now, please know that you’re not alone — I’m here to support you at a pace that's right for you.

We’ll start with a free 20-minute consultation.

You can arrange this by filling out the contact form or emailing me. Once you get in touch, I’ll reply within 24-48 hours to arrange a time that works for you.

During the consultation, you’re welcome to share what’s been going on for you, ask any questions, and get a sense of how I work.

There’s no pressure — it’s simply a chance to see if it feels like the right fit.

In your first full session, we’ll take things at your pace.

We’ll go through any practical details together so you feel comfortable and informed, and then begin exploring what’s brought you to therapy.

Each session lasts 50-minutes. Our sessions are confidential, within the usual professional and legal limits, which I will explain when we begin. 

It’s natural to feel unsure or have mixed emotions at first. Many people find that even having the space to talk can bring a sense of relief.

This depends on your needs and what feels right for you.

Weekly sessions are often recommended to begin with, as they can help build consistency and momentum.

As we continue, we can review things together and adjust the frequency in a way that feels supportive and manageable.

 I’m a relational and integrative counsellor, which means I draw on a range of approaches to suit you as an individual.

I work in a warm and collaborative way, tailoring therapy to you and what you need. 

Together, we can explore what is happening for you, understand patterns and experiences, and make sense of things at your own pace.

Therapy is a personal process, and it looks different for everyone.

Some people come for a shorter period to focus on something specific, while others choose to work more long-term.

There’s no set timeline, we can review things together as we go and find a pace that feels right for you.

Sessions are £65 and last 50-minutes.

I also offer a free 20-minute consultation so you can decide whether therapy feels right for you.
A limited number of low-cost spaces may be available — you’re welcome to get in touch to find out more.

It’s completely okay to feel unsure.

Therapy isn’t just for times of crisis, it’s for anyone who wants to understand themselves better, feel less stuck, or make sense of what’s going on inside.

If you’re considering therapy, you don’t need to be certain that it’s what you need. The free consultation can simply give you a chance to see how it feels. 

 That’s completely okay.

It’s important that you feel comfortable with the therapist you choose, and you’re always welcome to talk openly with me about how therapy is feeling.

If you decide you would like to end therapy, where possible I encourage us to talk about the ending together so that we can bring our work to a thoughtful close.

Whatever feels important to you.

This is your space ; somewhere you can speak openly and be met with empathy and without judgement.

All your thoughts, feelings, and experiences are welcome here.
