Frequently Asked Questions
Think of NLP as a toolkit for understanding and changing how we think and act. It helps you identify patterns that might be holding you back and offers practical ways to create new, more helpful patterns - whether that's in your career, relationships, or personal growth.
IFS offers a compassionate way to understand ourselves better. Just like we play different roles in life - professional, parent, friend - we have different 'parts' within ourselves. IFS helps us understand and harmonise these parts, leading to more clarity and inner peace.
Each session is 50 minutes. I offer both weekly and fortnightly appointments to suit your needs and schedule.
Our first session is about getting to know each other. We'll explore what brings you to therapy, discuss your goals, and start creating a framework for our work together. It's also a chance for you to experience my approach and ask any questions.
Yes, research shows online therapy can be just as effective as face-to-face sessions. Many clients find online sessions more convenient and comfortable, as they can engage from a familiar environment.
While counselling helps explore emotions and patterns more deeply, coaching focuses on practical strategies and future goals. I blend both approaches, allowing us to address both immediate challenges and underlying patterns.
There's no set number - it varies for each person. Some clients find what they need in 6-8 sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. We'll regularly review our work together to ensure it continues meeting your needs.
I require 48 hours' notice for cancellations. Sessions cancelled with less than 48 hours' notice are charged at the full rate. I understand emergencies happen, and we can discuss exceptional circumstances.
Yes, our sessions are confidential. The only exceptions are legal requirements around serious risk to yourself or others, which I'll discuss with you in our first session.
The best way to find out is through our initial consultation. This gives you a chance to experience how I work and ask any questions. Finding the right fit is important, and I encourage you to trust your instincts in making this decision.
