Question 1

What is therapy, really?

Accepted Answer

Therapy is a space where you can speak freely about what’s been weighing on you — without being judged, analysed, or rushed.
It’s not about being “fixed.”
It’s about understanding yourself more deeply- your thoughts, emotions, patterns, and experiences at a pace that feels right for you. Over time, this understanding can create meaningful shifts in how you relate to yourself and your life.

Question 2

Do I need therapy even if nothing is “seriously wrong”?

Accepted Answer

You don’t need a diagnosis or a crisis to begin therapy.
Many people come to therapy because something feels “off”- a sense of overwhelm, recurring patterns, emotional heaviness, or simply a desire to understand themselves better.
If you’ve been wondering whether you need therapy, that question itself is often worth exploring.

Question 3

What happens in the first session?

Accepted Answer

The first session is a gentle starting point.
We’ll talk about what’s been bringing you to therapy, and you’re welcome to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with.
There’s no pressure to explain everything clearly or have the “right words.” We move at your pace.

Question 4

What is this space for, and who do you work with?

Accepted Answer

I work with adult individuals (18+) from diverse backgrounds and experiences.
I aim to create a space that is respectful and affirming of different identities and ways of being. This includes gender-diverse and neurodiverse experiences, and I hold an awareness of how these can shape how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world.
I work with a range of concerns and diagnoses, including anxiety and overthinking, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm or numbness, self-esteem and identity concerns, and past experiences that continue to have an impact.
If you’re unsure whether therapy would help with what you’re going through, you’re welcome to reach out and ask.

Question 5

How do I know if you’re the right therapist for me?

Accepted Answer

The relationship you have with your therapist matters.
You’re welcome to begin with a consultation to get a sense of how it feels to talk and work together.
It’s important that you feel comfortable, heard, and able to be yourself in the space.

Question 6

Do I have to share everything, even if I don’t feel comfortable opening up?

Accepted Answer

No, you’re always in control of what you choose to share.
You don’t have to talk about anything before you feel ready. Feeling hesitant, unsure, or even guarded at first is completely normal.
We can go slowly, and even talk about the discomfort itself if that feels easier. Your boundaries are always respected, and we move at a pace that feels safe for you.
