Frequently Asked Questions
What should be my first step?
The first step is usually an initial consultation which gives us an opportunity to explore your reasons for considering therapy.
Making the first call or sending the initial email can seem daunting. I am always very happy to discuss any concerns, questions or fears you may have s prior to the initial consultation.

How many sessions will I need?
This will very much depend on you as an individual and what you are looking to explore. For some people and situations shorter, time-limited, therapy is highly effective. For others, open-ended, longer-term therapy is more appropriate.
