1
What can I expect in the first session?
We begin with a relaxed check-in, talk about what brought you here, and go through your goals. You can ask anything you want about the process. There is no pressure to disclose more than you feel ready for.
2
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes. You can book a free 15-minute phone call to get a feel for me, ask questions and decide whether you want to go ahead. There is no commitment.

How often are sessions?
Most clients come weekly as it gives therapy momentum, but some choose fortnightly depending on availability and goals.
4
Do you give homework?
Yes, often. Homework supports progress between sessions. This can be reflective journalling, practical tasks or specific goals depending on your needs.
5
Do I need a therapy notebook?
You do not need one, but I strongly recommend it. It can be physical or digital. Writing things down during and between sessions helps you progress faster and stay focused.

Where do sessions take place
Most 1-to-1 sessions are held in my private summer house, a cosy, quiet space overlooking the garden. Couples sessions take place in my indoor therapy room. Both are private, warm and designed for calm conversation.
10
What if I do not know what to talk about?
That is completely normal. I will guide you, ask helpful questions and help you find the focus. Many clients find clarity simply by talking things through.

Do you offer online therapy?
Yes. Sessions can be via Zoom if you prefer. Many clients use a mix of online and in-person sessions, which can be helpful when travelling or unable to attend in person.

Will your cat be there?
If you are indoors, you may meet Milly, my friendly ragdoll cat. She quietly observes from the sidelines. If you prefer not to have her around, just let me know.
13
What issues do you help with?
I specialise in relationships, communication, anxiety, self-worth, dating struggles, heartbreak, emotional regulation, recurring patterns and navigating relationship stress or transitions.
14
Are sessions confidential?
Yes. Everything stays between us unless there is a risk of serious harm to you or others. I will explain confidentiality clearly in your first session.
