Frequently Asked Questions About Therapy
What can I expect in my first session?
Your first session is an opportunity to get to know each other, discuss your goals, and explore the challenges you’re facing. It’s a safe space to share your story and ask questions about the therapy process.
How long does therapy usually last?
The length of therapy varies depending on your goals, needs, and progress. Some clients benefit from a few sessions, while others may work together over several months. We’ll review your goals regularly to ensure therapy is effective and tailored to you.
How do I know if therapy is working?
Therapy progress is measured in several ways, including changes in thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and overall well-being. We’ll collaborate to track your growth and adjust approaches as needed.
What if I don’t feel comfortable opening up?
It’s normal to feel hesitant at first. Building trust takes time, and therapy is a judgment-free space. We move at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you.
Do I have to talk about my past trauma?
You share only what you’re ready to share. Trauma-informed therapy focuses on safety and empowerment, and you control the pace and depth of discussion.
What types of therapy do you use?
I use evidence-based approaches, including trauma-informed care, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and person-centered counselling, tailored to your needs and goals.
Can therapy help with life transitions and personal growth?
Absolutely. Therapy supports coping with life changes, improving relationships, building confidence, and fostering personal growth and resilience.
How often are sessions?
Most clients start with weekly sessions, but frequency can be adjusted based on your needs, schedule, and therapeutic goals.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes. Sessions are fully confidential within legal and ethical limits. Your privacy and safety are a top priority.
How do I get started?
You can reach out via email, or online booking. We’ll schedule an initial session and discuss how therapy can best support you.
