Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about therapy, coaching, and my approach.

Getting Started

1. How do I know if therapy or coaching is right for me?
Therapy and coaching can support you if you are experiencing emotional distress, life transitions, relationship difficulties, or if you want deeper self-understanding and personal growth. You do not need to be in crisis to begin.
2. How will I know if you are the right therapist or practitioner for me?
Feeling safe, heard, and respected is essential. If at any point you feel the fit is not right, this can be openly discussed. You are always free to stop or change direction.
3. Do I need to commit long-term?
No. Some clients come for short-term support around a specific issue, while others choose longer-term therapeutic work. This is discussed and reviewed collaboratively.

Approach & Ways of Working

4. What is your therapeutic approach?
My work is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing from psychotherapy, somatic awareness, coaching, and holistic practices. Sessions are tailored to your needs, pace, and personal history.
5. What issues do you work with most often?
I work with trauma and abuse recovery, anxiety, depression, identity and life transitions, relationship dynamics, grief and loss, and support for highly sensitive people and carers.
6. Do you work with people from different cultural or spiritual backgrounds?
Yes. I offer culturally sensitive and inclusive support and respect each client’s personal, cultural, and spiritual framework.

Online & In-Person Sessions

7. Are online sessions as effective as in-person therapy?

Professional Boundaries & Safety

Yes. Confidentiality is a fundamental part of my work, in line with professional and ethical standards, with rare legal exceptions explained clearly if relevant.
11. Are you a medical doctor or psychiatrist?

12. Can therapy work alongside medical or psychiatric treatment?
