Frequently Asked Questions

  • I work integratively, which means I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor therapy to your individual needs. I offer both short-term and long-term counselling.

    I have training in CBT, psychodynamic, person-centred, systemic, and attachment-based approaches. This allows us to focus on practical strategies and present-day concerns where helpful, while also creating space to explore deeper patterns, relationships, and past experiences when appropriate.

    The length and focus of therapy are flexible and can be reviewed together as your needs and goals evolve.

  • Many people find online therapy just as effective as in-person therapy. Research shows that for a wide range of concerns (such as anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship issues), online counselling can produce outcomes similar to face-to-face therapy. The most important factors are the quality of the therapeutic relationship and your comfort with the format.

    Benefits of online therapy can include:

    • Greater convenience and access

    • More flexibility with scheduling

    • Being in your own space, which can help some people feel more at ease

    Some people prefer in-person therapy when:

    • They have limited privacy at home

    • They feel less comfortable with technology

    Ultimately, what matters most is finding a therapist and format that feel right for you. If you’re unsure, we can talk about it during your free consultation call.

  • Starting therapy can feel daunting. You can begin by completing the contact form, and I’ll be in touch to arrange a free 15-minute call to explore what’s bringing you to counselling and whether working together feels right.

    If you decide to proceed, we’ll agree on a regular session time and begin therapy at a pace that feels comfortable for you. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out before starting. Therapy is a space to explore things together.
