I meet a lot of people who start a session by saying they don't know what to talk about. The good news is that you don't have to.

Sometimes people come with a clear concern, and sometimes they simply have a sense that something no longer feels quite right.

The sessions are yours to explore whatever feels important, and we can start there without pressure or expectation, to see what emerges.

Therapy can be helpful at many different points in life. You don't need to wait until things feel unbearable before seeking support.

People come to therapy for many reasons and at different points in life. However, if you are experiencing a crisis or in need of immediate support, therapy may not be the most appropriate place to begin. In those moments, we can consider what support would best meet your needs, and discuss together so that we can agree a clear outcome.

There is no set answer to how long therapy should last. Everyone comes with different experiences, needs and hopes.

Some people choose to work through a specific difficulty, while others find value in a longer process of self-exploration and understanding.

Some people find it helpful to agree a set number of sessions, while others prefer to leave the work more open-ended. We will discuss together what feels most appropriate and helpful for you, and either way, we will regularly reflect on how therapy is feeling and whether it continues to meet your needs.

The relationship between therapist and client is central to our work together, and it is important that you feel comfortable with the therapist you choose.

Sometimes it is the right time for therapy, but you haven't found the right person yet. Sometimes you may find the right person, but the timing isn't quite right.

The consultation and assessment process gives us both an opportunity to consider whether working together feels right. If it doesn't, that's okay — finding the right support for you at the right time is what matters most.
