Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if you are the right therapist for me?

The biggest indicator of successful therapy, regardless of modality, is the therapeutic relationship.

what exactly is the /therapeutic relationship’?

The relationship formed between you and me as a client and therapist is unique; this is the therapeutic relationship, or therapeutic alliance. It’s a relationship where you are able to speak your thoughts and feelings to an impartial other, without judgement in an empathic environment. It is not my role as a therapist to give you advice, or tell you what to do. I will help you navigate your own mind.

i saw a therapist before and i didn’t get along wth them. how do i know you won’t be the same?

Tell me your past experiences of counselling or psychotherapy, and I can gain an understanding what you hope to gain.

does therapy work?

Yes. Studies consistently show that talking therapy is effective.

how long will i need to come to therapy?

I work both long and short term. I ask that you commit to the same day and time each week, however the duration of therapy is not fixed.
