š Do you offer in-person and online sessions?
At this time I only offer in-person sessions.
ā³ How long are sessions?
Initial and follow-up sessions are typically around 51 minutes, in line with professional standards. If a different format is needed, weāll discuss it together and adapt.
š± What should I expect in my first session?
Our first meeting is spacious and exploratory. Weāll talk about what brings you here, what youāre hoping for and how we might work together.
š How many sessions will I need?
Therapy is different for everyone. Some clients come for a few sessions to navigate a specific challenge, while others choose longer-term support. What matters most is that the process feels helpful, manageable and aligned with your needs. Weāll check in together as we goāthereās no fixed timeline.
š How often will we have sessions?
Most clients start with weekly sessions, but we will find a rhythm that feels supportive and doable for you. Frequency can shift over time depending on your needs and capacity. Thereās no fixed ruleājust a shared decision about what feels helpful.
š© Can I message you between sessions?
Youāre welcome to reach out for scheduling or practical queries. Therapeutic conversations are held in session, where thereās space and safety to explore what youāre facing.
š Can I call you when I need support?
I understand that moments of distress can feel urgent. However, Iām not available for on-call or emergency support between sessions. Therapeutic work is held in session. If youāre in crisis or need immediate support, I encourage you to reach out to a trusted support person, your GP or a local emergency service.
š§ What if I donāt know where to start or what to say?
Thatās completely okay. Many people arrive unsure of how to begin. Weāll move at your pace, and Iāll gently guide the process so you donāt have to figure it all out alone.
š¬ Is it normal to feel nervous before starting therapy?
Yes. Starting therapy can stir up vulnerability, uncertainty and hope. Itās completely normal to feel nervous and itās okay to arrive just as you are.
š Will I be expected to talk about everything right away?
Not at all. Youāre in charge of what you share and when. Therapy is a process, and weāll build trust over time.
š¢ What if I cry or feel overwhelmed in session?
Thatās okay. Emotions are welcome here. You wonāt be rushed or judgedāthereās space for whatever comes up.
šļø What do you do with the information that I share?
Everything you share in therapy helps you and me understand your worldāhow you think, feel, relate and cope. Together, we use that information to make sense of your experiences, explore what matters to you. I keep brief notes on our sessions to help me remember important themes or track progress, but these are for your care only.
