What to expect in Therapy. 

Starting therapy can feel like a big step. My aim is to make the process clear and approachable so you know what to expect.

​

While I specialise in faith deconstruction and identity transitions, I also work with a range of other issues, such as anxiety, relationships, and life transitions more broadly. If you're not sure whether we're a good fit, the free 20 minute call is the best way to find out.

Your First Session. 


The first session is an opportunity to talk about what brings you to therapy and what support you’re looking for. You don't need to prepare anything at all.

We’ll explore:
    •    What has brought you to therapy
    •    How you hope therapy will help you 
    •    Why now? 

You are free to speak at your own pace; there’s no pressure to share everything straight away.

How I Work


I’m an integrative counsellor, drawing on different approaches depending on your needs. Sessions may include:

    •    Understanding your thoughts, feelings, and patterns
    •    Exploring how past experiences influence the present
    •    Making your unconsciousness, conscious 
    •    Supporting your relationships and personal growth

My role isn’t to fix you but to work alongside you respectfully and collaboratively.

Session Structure & Pace


    •    Duration: 50 minutes per session
    •    Frequency: Most people start weekly; we can adjust this  over time
    •    Sessions provide a safe space to reflect, process, and gain insight
    •    Everything you bring: frustration, grief, anger, or confusion, is welcome

Practical Details


    •    Fee: £75 per session 
    •    Availability: Online, Monday-Friday 10am-3pm; limited evening slots. 
    •    Consultation: Free 20-minute call to see if we’re a good fit
    •    Payment to be made before or on the day of the session via bank transfer
    •    You’re free to end therapy at any time with good notice so we are able to end our work together well.
