Frequenty Asked Questions

What is counselling/ psychotherapy?

​Talking Therapies are effective for common mental health problems like anxiety, depression, and stress. This involves speaking to a trained professional about your emotions, feelings, defences, and ways of coping. Talking Therapies can support you by providing a safe, non judgemental space to be heard and understood. Attachment psychotherapy delves into a deeper understanding of a client’s inner world, childhood experiences, early and current relationships, and its impact on their difficulties today.

Which professional body are you a member of?

What can I expect in the Initial Consultation?

The initial consultation is an opportunity to get to know each other. As I find out what brings you to therapy at this stage, you can also see my approach, style of work, and get to know me. This provides an opportunity for us both to ask questions and you can make an informed choice if you feel we can work together at this time. We will go over the contract for counselling, and also you can see what remote therapy is like.

How long is each session?

Each counselling session is 50 minutes, which is one 'counselling hour'.
