What is counselling and how can it help me?

Counselling is a space where you can talk openly about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe, non-judgmental environment.

Question 3

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Accepted Answer

Therapy can be helpful for anyone who feels they need support, clarity, or space to process their thoughts and emotions. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about something in your life, talking things through in therapy can help.

Question 4

What can I expect in the first session?

Accepted Answer

Your first session is about getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you’d like to gain from it, and how I can best support you. There’s no pressure to share everything at once—we’ll go at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Question 5

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

The number of sessions varies from person to person. Some people find a few sessions helpful, while others prefer longer-term therapy. We can discuss what feels right for you as we go along.

Question 6

How long are the sessions, and how often do they take place?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are 60 minutes long and usually take place weekly, but this can be adjusted depending on what works best for you.

Question 7

Do you offer online or in-person sessions?

Accepted Answer

I offer both in-person sessions and online therapy via secure video calls. If you're unsure which is best for you, we can discuss the options and find what feels most comfortable.

Question 8

How much does therapy cost?

Accepted Answer

Individual therapy: £55 per session
Payment is made via bank transfer.

If affordability is a concern, we can discuss options.

Question 9

Is therapy confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes, therapy is completely confidential, meaning everything we discuss stays between us. However, there are rare exceptions—such as if I believe you or someone else is at serious risk of harm. I will always explain confidentiality in more detail when we start working together.

Question 10

What if I don’t feel therapy is working for me?

Accepted Answer

That’s completely okay! Therapy is a personal journey, and it’s important that you feel comfortable with your therapist. If at any point you feel that therapy isn’t meeting your needs, we can talk about what might be more helpful for you—whether that’s adjusting our approach or exploring other support options.
