It’s completely normal to have questions about starting therapy. Here are some answers to things people often wonder about before getting started.
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 your own pace.
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 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, and everything you share is confidential.
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 an integrative therapist, which means I draw on a range of approaches to suit you as an individual.
I work in a way that is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your needs — offering a space where you can feel supported, understood, and able to explore things at your own pace.
Clients often tell me they feel at ease quickly and able to open up without judgement.
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 £60 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 here reading this, something in you is already reaching for support — and that’s an important first step.
That’s completely okay.
It’s important that you feel comfortable and supported. If it doesn’t feel like the right fit, we can talk about that openly.
You’re always free to stop at any time. I simply ask for two weeks’ notice so we can end our work together in a thoughtful and supported way.
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.
If something here has resonated with you, you’re very welcome to get in touch.
