Frequently Asked Questions
How long will therapy take?
Many people fear they’ll be “stuck” in therapy forever, or that their problems are too big to shift. In reality, therapy is focused and time-sensitive. Some clients notice change within a few sessions; others engage in longer work to address deeper roots. We move at a pace that feels safe yet effective, so you don’t just cope, you begin to transform.
What if therapy feels overwhelming?
It’s natural to worry about being consumed by emotions you’ve avoided for years. Therapy isn’t about pushing you too far, too fast. We work step by step, strengthening your ability to face difficult feelings without becoming flooded. Over time, you’ll discover that what once felt unbearable can be met, understood, and finally moved through.
Is online therapy as effective as face-to-face?
Yes. While some worry online therapy might feel distant, research, and my own experience with hundreds of clients shows it can be just as effective as in-person sessions. In fact, being in the comfort of your own space often makes it easier to open up.
How much does therapy cost, and what does it include?
Sessions are £65 for 50 minutes, delivered one-to-one via secure video. You’ll receive not just the session itself, but a structured process from exploring what’s beneath the surface, to engaging with feelings you’ve avoided, to emerging into freedom from old patterns. Therapy is an investment in long-term change, not just short-term relief.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality is at the core of the therapeutic relationship. Everything we discuss remains private, within professional and legal boundaries. This allows you to speak openly about even the hardest experiences, knowing you are held in a safe and protected space.
What kinds of issues can therapy help with?
Therapy can help with anxiety, depression, shame, self-sabotage, fears of closeness, intimacy struggles, trauma, and painful inner criticism, as well as the patterns that repeat despite your best efforts to change them. We don’t just manage symptoms; we go to the root, so lasting change becomes possible.
What if I’m not sure therapy is right for me?
Doubt is normal, especially if you’ve struggled alone for years. The best way to know is to try. A first session isn’t a commitment to a lifetime of therapy; it’s a chance to experience how the work feels. Many clients are surprised by how quickly they sense the possibility of change, even after just one conversation.
What if I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t work?
It can be disheartening to feel like you’ve “already tried everything.” But not all therapy is the same. This work is focused, experiential, and rooted in helping you face the feelings and patterns that other approaches may have circled around and not addressed. Even if past attempts didn’t bring change, this doesn’t mean you can’t heal.
