questions you may have about therapy
-
Deciding whether therapy is right for you involves considering several factors. Here are some key points to reflect on:
Emotional Support: If you're experiencing feelings of sadness, anxiety, or overwhelm, therapy can provide a safe space to explore these emotions.
Unresolved Issues: If you have past experiences or trauma that seem to affect your daily life, therapy can help you process and work through them.
Personal Growth: Therapy isn't just for dealing with problems; it can also aid in self-discovery and personal development.
Behavioural Changes: If you're struggling with habits or patterns in your life that you want to change, therapy can offer strategies and support.
Relationship Problems: Therapy can be beneficial for improving communication and resolving conflicts in relationships, whether personal or professional.
A Desire for Change: If you're feeling stuck in your life and are motivated to make changes, therapy can be a tool to help you set and achieve your goals.
Consider your current situation and reflect on whether any of these points resonate with you. If you're still unsure, I offer a free initial consultation to help you determine if my approach and style aligns with your needs.

During our time together, I aim to create a warm and friendly environment where you feel safe to share your thoughts and feelings openly. It's important to me that you know this is a judgment-free space, allowing you to be your authentic self without fear of criticism. My role is to stand alongside you as a supportive witness to your struggles, providing empathy and understanding as we explore your experiences together. I hope you find our sessions to be a place of comfort and trust, where we can work collaboratively towards your goals and personal growth.
Clients often have their own expectations of what therapy will be like and we will discuss this upfront. Sometimes people want a supportive listener whom they can safely vent to and who will offer support and possibly some reframing to help them see new perspectives on situations. Other times people want a more solution-focused approach. They are looking for a professional who offers tools and skills training to help them feel, think and live better.

The number of therapy sessions I recommend can vary based on your individual needs and goals. Some clients benefit from a few sessions to address specific issues, while others may find value in ongoing support for a longer period. During our initial sessions, we can discuss your concerns and what you hope to achieve, which will help us determine a plan that feels right for you. It's important to tailor the therapy process to your unique situation, so we can adjust as we go along based on your progress and feedback.
