FAQ

I’ve compiled a list of the most frequent questions that I have received over my career. It’s normal and encouraged for patients to ask many questions when choosing to work with a therapist. Here are some answers to the questions I receive the most. If you can’t find what you are looking for, please get in touch.

What do I need to prepare for my first session?

You don't need to prepare anything. Understandably it can feel daunting starting therapy but I will guide you through the assessment process.

How many sessions will I need?

It is difficult to answer this question here as it will depend on your own individual circumstances. During your initial assessment we will come up with a personalised plan together.

How long will each session last?
 

Sessions will usually be 50 minutes long.

Where will the sessions take place?

I offer sessions online. You can therefore choose to be in a place that feels comfort for you.

Will everything discussed be kept confidential?

Yes... pretty much! Confidentiality is key within psychological therapy and something I take very seriously. There are some limits to confidentiality, such as if you or someone else is at serious risk of harm. If I feel it would be helpful or needed to share information with other professionals, I will endeavour to discuss this with you first. The limitations and rules around confidentiality will all be discussed with you prior to you initial assessment.
