Question 1

How much does therapy cost and do you offer reduced rates?

Accepted Answer

Please feel free to get in touch to discuss the current fees and any reduced rate options.

Question 2

What is your approach?

Accepted Answer

My work is grounded in a person-centred and psychodynamic approach. I am guided by the therapeutic values of unconditional positive regard, empathy and congruence, and I aim to offer a space that reflects these values, one in which you can feel safe, heard and understood.Alongside helping with current difficulties, this approach seeks to understand deeper emotional patterns. Together, we explore not only what is happening in your life now, but also your past experiences.

Question 3

What happens in the first session?

Accepted Answer

The first session is an opportunity for me to begin getting to know you. You are free to speak about whatever feels important to you at your own pace.

Some people arrive with something specific they wish to talk about, while others may not know where to begin. Both are entirely welcome.

Question 4

Do I need to prepare anything?

Accepted Answer

No preparation is needed. You can simply come as you are.

Question 5

Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?

Accepted Answer

Online therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for many people. What matters most is the quality of the therapeutic relationship and having a private, consistent space where you feel able to speak openly.

Some people find it easier to talk from the familiarity of their own environment, while others prefer meeting in person. Both formats can support meaningful therapeutic work.

Question 6

How do online sessions work?

Accepted Answer

You will need a private and quiet space and a stable internet connection. Some people prefer a face-to-face video session, while others choose to have an audio-only session.

Question 7

Is everything confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Everything discussed in therapy is confidential, with rare legal exceptions (for example, serious risk of harm to yourself or others).

Question 8

How long does therapy last?

Accepted Answer

Each session is 50 minutes. Psychodynamic psychotherapy is typically open-ended and longer-term. Some people attend for months, while others continue for years depending on their needs.

We can review this together.

Question 9

How often are sessions?

Accepted Answer

Psychodynamic psychotherapy sessions usually take place once or twice weekly at a regular time, as consistency supports the therapeutic process. Fortnightly sessions can also be arranged.
