FAQ
Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s brought you to counselling, the challenges you’re facing, and the goals you’d like to work towards. I’ll explain how I work and answer any questions you have, so you can feel comfortable and clear about the process. There’s no pressure this is your space to share as much or as little as you feel ready to.
Most sessions run for 50 minutes, giving us enough time to explore your concerns and work through strategies without feeling rushed. Longer sessions can be arranged if needed, particularly for couples or when working through more complex issues.
Yes. You can easily book an appointment online at a time that suits you. Once you’ve booked, you’ll receive confirmation details, and if your session is online, you’ll also receive a secure link to join. If you prefer, you can also book by phone or email.
Absolutely. Everything you share in counselling is treated with the highest level of confidentiality, in line with professional ethics and legal requirements. The only exceptions are if there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or if disclosure is required by law and even then, I will discuss this with you wherever possible.
I use a person-centred approach combined with evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, narrative therapy, solution focus and strengths-based techniques. This means we’ll tailor the process to suit your unique needs, personality, and goals, so you feel supported in a way that works for you.
This depends on your needs, goals, and circumstances. Some clients find weekly sessions helpful to build momentum, while others prefer fortnightly or monthly appointments. We’ll discuss what feels right for you during your first session, and you can adjust the frequency as your needs change.
A safe, compassionate space to explore your journey, find clarity, and embrace your authentic self.
