Question 1

Is therapy is right for me?

Accepted Answer

It is important to note that although therapy is helpful for specific ailments and goals, it is also not limited to this. Therapy is an often overlooked exercise of self-care. It is an opportunity to feel more in tune, regulated, and aware.

Question 2

How do I know that this time therapy will work for me?

Accepted Answer

Mental health improvement does not happen overnight. Therapy is a process, and it can take time for our symptoms to improve. It is also important to find the right therapist who can treat what you are experiencing. Keep in mind different approaches may be better for different issues. If you didn’t feel heard in your previous therapy, or if your symptoms have not changed since your last therapy experience, a different therapist might be what you need to move forward.

Question 3

How long do I need to be in therapy for?

Accepted Answer

The length spent in therapy is a personal choice that is dependent on your goals, resources, needs and your case's complexity. Therapy is a long-term commitment, and although clients will report feeling better in 2-3 months it is important to think of therapy as not just about 'fixing' ourselves, but rather, a way of living.

Question 4

Question 5

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Question 6

What are the policies regarding confidentiality?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are confidential as I am bound by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy's Code of Ethics. Everything that is discussed in our sessions stays in within the service. Exceptions to this are when there is a belief of someone is in danger. In such instances, this would be disclosed to you before and would include you in the safeguarding process.
