FAQs

Do I need to be in crisis to come to therapy? 

Not at all. Many people come to therapy not because they are in crisis, but because something feels difficult, overwhelming, repetitive, or simply hard to make sense of alone. You do not need to have a diagnosis, a clear explanation, or a "big enough" reason to begin. 

What if I've never been to therapy before? 

That's completely okay. Many of the people I work with are entering therapy for the first time. You do not need to know what to say or how therapy is supposed to work. We begin where you are and move at a pace that feels manageable.

How do I know if therapy is right for me? 

If there is something in your life that feels emotionally heavy, confusing, persistent, or difficult to navigate alone, therapy may be a helpful space to explore it. You do not need certainty before reaching out. 

What happens after I submit the enquiry form? 

Once I receive your enquiry, I will review it and contact you via email regarding availability and the next steps. This may include a brief conversation to understand what you are looking for and whether working together feels like a good fit. 

Is what I share confidential? 

Yes. Confidentiality is an important part of therapy. Information shared in sessions is kept private, with a few legal and ethical exceptions related to safety and risk, which will be discussed at the beginning of our work together. 

What if I'm not sure where to begin? 

You do not need to arrive with the right words or a clear starting point. Uncertainty is welcome here. Therapy often begins with simply noticing what feels most present and allowing understanding to emerge from there.

How long will I need therapy for? 

There is no fixed timeline for therapy. Some people come with a specific concern they would like support with, while others choose to engage in longer-term work focused on understanding patterns, relationships, or personal growth.

The length of therapy depends on your goals, the concerns you are bringing, and what feels helpful for you. We can regularly check in about how the process is feeling and whether it continues to meet your needs.
