Frequently asked questions
A clear start, with room for questions
These are some of the questions people often ask before beginning therapy. You are welcome to get in touch if something is not covered here.
What happens in the first session?
We explore what has been happening, what you would like support with, and whether CBT feels like a good fit. There is no pressure to commit.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies. Some people benefit from short-term work, such as 6-12 sessions, while others prefer longer-term support.
Do I need a diagnosis to work with you?
No. You are welcome whether you have a diagnosis, are exploring possibilities, or simply want support.
Do you offer short-term and longer-term therapy?
Yes. We decide together what feels right.
Is everything confidential?
Yes, within professional and legal limits. I explain this clearly in our first session.
How do online sessions work?
We meet via secure video call. You will need a private space, a stable connection, and a device with a camera.
What if I am not sure therapy is right for me?
That is completely normal. A free 15-minute consultation can help you decide.
