Frequently Asked Questions

My approach places you at the heart of everything we do. “Person-centred” means we work collaboratively, valuing your experiences, voice, and goals. “Integrated” means we draw on a variety of therapeutic methods or wellness practices to support your unique needs—there’s no one-size-fits-all model here. 

Your first session is a chance to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you here, what you’d like to explore or work toward, and how we can support you in a way that feels safe and comfortable. There’s no pressure—just space for you to be heard. Sessions last one hour and are guided by a clear client contract, which we’ll review together to ensure everything feels transparent and mutually agreed upon. 

I offer both. You can choose to attend sessions in person in a calm, welcoming environment, or connect online via a secure, confidential video platform. Many clients find online sessions just as effective and appreciate the added flexibility. You’re welcome to switch between formats as needed—I'm here to support what works best for you. 

Taking the first step towards counselling is often the hardest and understandably you want to ensure your working with the right therapist. I offer a free 20 minute phone or online consultation - where you can find out if we can work together.

Confidentiality is a cornerstone of our work. Everything you share is treated with respect and discretion. I adhere to strict ethical and legal standards provided by the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP).  I will always be transparent about any limitations to confidentiality (such as safety concerns).

No. Some people come for a few sessions to explore a specific issue; others find value in longer-term support. We’ll work together to find what’s right for you, at your pace. The client contract can be revisited and adjusted as your needs evolve.
