Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How many sessions will I need for counselling psychotherapy or life coaching?

It could range from just a few sessions, to long term therapy. It's best to start weekly therapy sessions if possible. Once we can build on our relationship of trust, we discuss as we go along. It's totally up to you - weekly, bi-weekly, monthly etc. Life happens; and maybe other longer lengths of time between therapy might suit you.

With life coaching, again this is flexible to allow time for you to work through your steps to success tasks that we agree together.

How does person-centred approach / integrative psychotherapy work?

There are many different types of counselling and psychotherapy.  Person-centred is just that - each session, you can discuss the same difficulty or problem, or a different one. In additon to person-centred, I can also offer elements of CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy). Working together through your issues and experiences. Reflection and support from me, so you are able to disclose what is troubling you, with no opinions or judgement.

No homework sheets or writing between sessions (unless you wish to try some CBT interventions or life coaching). Eventually you will discover your own ability, so that you can cope with current and future problems. 

What can I help with?

With counselling psychotherapy, I can help with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief/bereavement, loss. 

Life coaching is also available for specific issues, based on solution-focused steps to success.

What about confidentiality and keeping data safely?

Confidentiality as a therapist is of upmost importance. When talking through our agreement at our first appointment, this is explained in more detail.
