FAQ Section:

Do I need to know what I want to talk about? 

No. Many people start therapy feeling unsure or confused. Part of the work is helping you find the words — at your pace. 

What is relational counselling? 

Relational counselling focuses on how we experience ourselves and others, including within the therapeutic relationship. This can help reveal patterns that affect your relationships, emotions, and sense of self. 

What's the difference between psychodynamic and person-centred therapy?

Psychodynamic therapy explores unconscious patterns and past experiences, while person-centred therapy emphasises empathy, acceptance, and your lived experience. I integrate both approaches to suit you as an individual. 

Do you work with young people? 

Yes. I work with young people aged 11 and over, drawing on my extensive background in residential care and safeguarding. 

How many sessions will I need? 

There's no set number. Some people come for a few sessions, others for longer-term work. We review this together. 

Is counselling confidential? 

Yes. Confidentiality is central to my work, with standard safeguarding and ethical exceptions which I will explain clearly. 

How do I get started? 

You can contact me via the website to ask questions or arrange an initial session. There's no obligation — just a conversation to see if I'm the right fit for you.
