How do I know if counselling is for me?

Most people will benefit from talk therapy, but it can be tricky to know until you try. I suggest 1-2 sessions together to see if we are the right fit, and if therapy suits you/your relationship at this time. We can use these sessions to explore what tools might serve you best. Your autonomy is the most important thing here.

How long does a session go for? How many sessions will I need?

Most sessions go for 60 minutes. The initial session for a couple is 75 minutes to complete a thorough assessment. Some people find six sessions is enough to support them with a specific challenge. Others find they need 10 or more to unpack and explore. Others see it as an ongoing part of maintaining their wellbeing or a healthy relationship.

Are you available to see people of all ages?

Yes, 18 years and above. I am keen to support people across the lifespan, however I no longer treat children or teenagers.

What type of therapy do you do?

I am an interpersonal counsellor, which means our relationship is the foundation for therapy. You can expect trust, care and authenticity. I am strengths-based and aim to bring your strengths into awareness. I have specialist skills in identifying attachment patterns and their intersection with trauma and loss. I tailor other tools to suit you - supporting emotional regulation with EFT, developing practical stress management tools, exploring parts of self with IFS, and so on. We can figure this out together as we go!

For couples, therapy is more structured, as the focus is on the relationship. There will be an emphasis on skill development both in session and at home; to better attune with one another, reconnect, recover from transgressions, set goals and repair conflict cycles.
