Your frequently asked questions...

Here are some of the most common questions people ask before getting started. If you’re wondering about something not covered here, please feel free to reach out.

What is integrative counselling?

Integrative counselling means I draw from different therapeutic approaches to best support you as an individual. This allows us to work together in a way that feels right for you, whether you’re looking for gentle exploration, practical tools, or a mix of both.

How do sessions take place?

Sessions are 50 minutes and can be held in-person, online via v—whichever feels most comfortable for you. We’ll meet weekly at a regular time, creating a steady space for your process.

What can I talk about in therapy?

You’re welcome to bring anything that’s on your mind—big or small. Some people come with a clear focus, while others just know they want things to feel different. There’s no right or wrong way to start.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes, everything you share is treated with respect and confidentiality. There are a few rare exceptions for safety, which I’ll explain fully before we begin, so you always know where you stand.

What if I feel nervous?

It’s completely normal to feel unsure or anxious about starting therapy. We’ll go at your pace, and you’re always welcome to share any worries or questions you have along the way. You don’t have to do this alone.

Where are you located?

I work from a private therapy room in Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, and I also offer sessions online or by phone to clients across the UK.

What should I do if I am in crisis?

I don’t offer crisis or emergency services. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent support, please contact your GP, call 999, or reach out to a crisis service such as Samaritans (116 123).

What's your cancellation policy?

I ask for at least 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a session. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours' notice may be charged at the full session fee.

What is the duration of therapy?

That depends on your needs. Some clients come for short-term work (around 6–12 sessions), while others benefit from longer-term support. We can review progress regularly and decide together what feels right for you.

Do you offer reduced rates?

I have a limited number of spaces for clients on a lower income. Please feel free to ask about availability if this would be helpful for you.

What are your standard fees?

My fee is set at £60 per session with an initial 15 minute consultation included for free. Each session is 50 minutes.

Is there anything I need to do in preparation?

After our consultation and before our first session, I will ask you to sign a Terms of Service agreement, this provides clarity for both of us and how we'll work together.

What kind of results can I expect from therapy?

Therapy can lead to greater self-awareness, improved relationships, better emotional regulation, and a stronger sense of self. Every person’s experience is unique, and I’ll support you in exploring what feels most meaningful for you.
