Frequently Asked Questions
-
Therapy can support a wide range of challenges including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, low self-esteem, and life transitions. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit; many clients come simply to understand themselves better or make meaningful changes in their lives.
-
Each session is a confidential space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. Together, we’ll work to understand patterns, identify what’s holding you back, and develop healthier ways of coping and relating to others.
-
That depends on your goals and needs. Some people find short-term therapy (8–12 sessions) helpful for a specific issue, while others prefer longer-term work to explore deeper patterns. We’ll discuss what feels right for you in our initial sessions.

The first step is an initial session — a space for us to explore what’s brought you here and what you’re hoping for. It’s also a chance to see whether we feel like a good fit.
There’s no obligation to continue. If we decide to work together, we’ll agree the next steps at a pace that feels right for you.

That’s completely normal. Many people feel anxious before their first session. Therapy is a collaborative process — there’s no right or wrong way to begin. My role is to help you feel safe and supported as we explore things together.
