Frequently asked questions.

Can I email you to get started?
Yes, absolutely! You’re welcome to email me instead of booking an introductory call. If you choose to email, I’ll send you a short form to help me understand what you’re looking for and provide a few pointers ahead of our first consultation. We can then schedule the introductory call. This gives us both an opportunity to discuss anything you’d like to bring up from the start, whether over email or the call.
What if I need to cancel a session?
Life happens, and if you need to cancel, I just ask for a 24-hour notice, even for complimentary sessions. This keeps our schedule organised and respects each other’s time.
Do I need to prepare anything for our sessions?
No need to prepare anything in advance. Just come as you are, and we’ll take it from there.
Is there a minimum commitment?
We’ll start with three sessions following the introductory chat, and I recommend a minimum commitment of 10 weeks to get the most from the process. I don’t package sessions, so you’re free to book as many or as few as you need along the way.
How is your approach different from traditional coaching or self-help?
Many of my clients are drawn to a therapeutic approach that goes deeper than traditional coaching or self-help. As a therapist, I work from an existential perspective, focusing on some of life’s core questions around meaning, freedom, identity, and connection. This isn’t about quick-fix motivation; it’s about creating space to explore these themes together and build a more self-aware, grounded life.
That said, my therapeutic approach is also practical. We’ll work to identify meaningful goals and actions that feel aligned with your values and aspirations. Change takes time, and I respect your pace as we explore and set goals together.
What if I’m feeling nervous about the process?
It’s perfectly normal to feel some nerves about starting therapy. Many clients feel uncertain about whether their challenges are “normal” or wonder if it’s okay to discuss certain topics. Please know that you’re welcome to bring any and all concerns—sometimes the smallest things can be our greatest obstacles, and I’ll help put your mind at ease.
How will I know if you’re the right therapist for me?
The foundation of effective therapy is a strong connection. Our introductory chat or email exchange will help us both determine if we’re a good fit. I’m committed to working with clients I genuinely believe I can support, and if I feel I’m not the best match, I’ll do my best to refer you to someone who can help.
