Frequently Asked Questions

1. What can I expect from a 30-minute consultation?

The 30-minute consultation is a relaxed, no-pressure conversation where we can get to know each other a little. It’s your chance to share what’s been on your mind, ask questions about therapy or how I work, and explore whether this feels like a good fit for you. There’s no obligation to book further sessions — just a supportive space to help you feel more comfortable about taking the next step. We’ll talk about what you hope to get from counselling, and I can explain how person-centred therapy might help.

2. How long are the sessions?

Each session lasts 50 minutes.

3. How often will we meet?

This depends on what feels right for you. Some people prefer weekly sessions, others fortnightly or monthly. We’ll work together to find the best pace for your needs.

4. Is everything I share confidential?

Yes. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy. What you share stays between us, except in rare situations where there is a risk of harm to yourself or others. If this ever arises, I would discuss it with you first.

5. Do you offer in-person sessions?

At the moment, sessions are only available online.

6. What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Please give at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. This helps keep the schedule open for others who may need support.

7. How long will therapy last?

There’s no set length. Some people find a few sessions helpful, while others choose longer-term work. It’s all about what feels right for you.

8. How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Therapy is a personal journey. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or curious about exploring your feelings and experiences in a safe space, it may be a good fit. Your free consultation can help you decide.

9. What happens if I don’t feel comfortable or ready?

That’s completely okay. Therapy is your choice, and we go at your pace. You can pause, stop, or ask questions anytime.

10. Do you have professional support or supervision?

Yes. I regularly meet with a qualified supervisor to reflect on my work and ensure I’m providing the best care possible. Supervision helps me stay grounded, ethical, and focused on supporting you safely.
