Many people wait until they are in a "crisis" to seek help, but therapy is beneficial for anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply curious about their own patterns. If you find that your usual ways of coping aren't working, or if you just want a dedicated space to process your life without judgment, it’s a good time to start. 

The first session is mostly about getting comfortable. I’ll explain how we can work together and ask about what brought you to seek counselling as well as any aims for our time together. You don’t need to have a "plan" or a perfectly polished story at all. You can just show up as you are. 

There is no "one-size-fits-all" answer to this, as every person’s journey is different. Some clients find that 6 sessions are enough to tackle a specific situation, while others prefer ongoing support for deeper, long-term growth. We will check in regularly to discuss your progress and ensure you’re getting exactly what you need.

Yes. Privacy is a cornerstone of the therapeutic relationship. Everything shared in our sessions is strictly confidential. The only legal exceptions to this rule are if there is an immediate risk of harm to yourself or others, or in cases involving the safety of a child or vulnerable adult. We will review these specific "limitations of confidentiality" together during your first visit. 

Creative therapy is a specialised approach where we use sensory tools— drawing, painting, cards, creating, or like the sandtray and the various miniatures you see on my shelves—to express things that words alone often can't capture. You don't need to be creative at all to do this work, you just need a willingness to explore.
