Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes, if you suspect you are neurodiverse and want to make sense of your feelings, relationships and/or experiences.
-
Counselling offers a confidential, supportive space to explore what’s going on for you emotionally, mentally, or in your life. It can help you make sense of your experiences, develop greater self-understanding, and find new ways of relating to yourself and others. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit — many people come to therapy simply because they want things to feel different or more manageable.
-
Online counselling takes place via secure video sessions, which you can join from the comfort of your own home or any private space. Sessions work in much the same way as in-person therapy, offering time to talk, reflect, and be heard. All you need is a stable internet connection and a quiet space where you feel comfortable and uninterrupted.
-
Research shows that online therapy can be just as effective as face-to-face counselling for many people. What matters most is the quality of the therapeutic relationship — feeling understood, supported, and safe. Many clients also find online counselling more accessible and easier to fit around work, study, or busy lives.

I work with adults experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, low mood, stress and burnout, self-esteem issues, relationship difficulties, life transitions, Issues related to neurodiversity, people-pleasing, perfectionism, LGBTQIA issues and feelings of being stuck or lost. You don’t need a diagnosis to seek therapy — if something is affecting your wellbeing, it’s valid and worth exploring.
-
It’s very common to feel unsure about starting therapy or to wonder whether your struggles are “serious enough.” If something is weighing on you, repeating itself, or affecting how you feel about yourself or your life, counselling may be helpful. You don’t need to have all the answers — curiosity and willingness are enough to begin.
-
The first session is a chance for us to get to know one another and for you to talk about what’s brought you to therapy. There’s no pressure to share everything at once. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, and you can ask any questions you may have. My aim is to help you feel safe, heard, and supported from the very beginning.
Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form or schedule a call—we’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.
-
Not at all. Some people come to therapy with clear goals, while others simply have a sense that something isn’t quite right. Both are equally welcome. Together, we can explore what you’d like from therapy, and this may naturally evolve as the work deepens.
-
Sessions last 50 minutes and usually take place weekly. Regular sessions help create continuity and allow trust and understanding to develop. However, the frequency and length of therapy are something we can review together over time, depending on your needs.
-
Counselling with me costs £60 per session, with a 10% discount applied when bought as a block of 6 sessions in advance. I also have a limited amount of student reduced-rate sessions available for those in education.
Payment is due before the session unless otherwise agreed. Future sessions may be purchased in advance.
I ask for at least 48 hours’ notice for cancellations or changes. This policy helps protect the therapeutic space and ensures fairness for both of us.
-
Yes. Counselling is confidential, meaning what you share stays between us. There are rare exceptions where I may need to break confidentiality — for example, if there is a serious risk of harm to you or someone else — and these limits will be explained clearly at the start of therapy.
-
Integrative humanistic counselling places the therapeutic relationship at the heart of the work. It is non-judgemental, compassionate, and tailored to you as an individual. I draw on different therapeutic approaches while staying grounded in a humanistic belief in your capacity for growth, self-understanding, and change.
