frequently asked questions
What can I bring to therapy?
Anything that feels important.
You might come with grief, trauma, relationship concerns, or simply a sense that something isn’t right. You don’t need to have clear words to begin.
What is your approach?
I work in an integrative, compassion-focused way, drawing from existential, somatic, attachment-based and trauma-informed approaches. Therapy is paced to you, and shaped around your needs.
Do I have to talk about trauma straight away?
No.
We begin with safety, trust and grounding. You choose what to share, and when.
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes — sessions are offered online via secure video, so you can access therapy from a space that feels comfortable.
What happens in the first session?
We gently explore what has brought you to therapy, what you might need, and whether this feels like the right fit. There is no pressure to go deeply straight away.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies. Some people come short-term, others longer-term. We review this together over time.
Do you work with LGBTQIA+ clients?
Yes. This is an inclusive and affirming space.
What is your cancellation policy?
More than 48 hours: no fee
24–48 hours: 50% fee
Less than 24 hours: full fee
Is therapy confidential?
Yes, with some limits around safety and legal requirements. This will be explained clearly.
How do I know if you’re the right therapist for me?
The therapeutic relationship is one of the most important parts of therapy.
You might notice:
Feeling heard or understood (even in small ways)
A sense of safety or ease over time
Space to be yourself without pressure
Can I give feedback about my sessions?
Yes — feedback is always welcome.
You are also welcome to reflect in your own way. If something doesn’t feel right, we can explore this collaboratively.
You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin.
You don’t have to arrive with clarity.
Sometimes therapy begins with a feeling, a question, or a quiet sense that something wants care.
