FAQ
What can I talk about in therapy?
You're welcome to bring whatever feels important. This might include feelings of anxiety or depression, difficulties in relationships, low self-esteem, experiences from your past, questions around identity, or a general sense of feeling stuck or overwhelmed. You don’t need to have everything figured out — we can explore things together at your pace.
​
How often will we meet?
I usually suggest starting with weekly sessions, as this helps create a steady and supportive rhythm for our work. We can agree on a regular day and time that suits us both, and adjust as needed as things progress.
​
How long will I need to come to therapy?
I offer open-ended therapy, meaning we can work together for as long as it feels helpful. Some people come for a few months, others for longer — it really depends on what you need and what you’re hoping to get out of therapy. We’ll check in regularly to make sure it continues to feel useful.
​
Do you offer in-person and online sessions?
Yes — I work both in-person from my private home office in Warsop, near Mansfield, and online via Zoom. Some clients like to combine the two, and I'm happy to offer a flexible arrangement where possible.
​
How much do sessions cost?
Sessions are £60 for 50 minutes and can be paid for via BACS (bank transfer). I also accept cash payments for in-person sessions.
​
What if I need to cancel a session?
I ask for at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations. If a session is cancelled with less notice, or missed without letting me know, it may be charged in full. I understand that unexpected things come up — we can talk about what feels fair and manageable.
​
How do I know if you’re the right therapist for me?
It’s important that you feel safe and comfortable with whoever you choose to work with. Our first session is a chance to get a sense of how it feels to talk together — there’s no obligation to continue. I’ll also be honest if I feel another kind of support might be a better fit for your needs.
​
Are you experienced in working with specific issues or communities?
I work with a wide range of concerns, and I have particular experience in supporting people around self-esteem, identity, anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns. I also have experience working with neurodivergent clients and people from LGBTQIA+ and GSRD communities, and I aim to offer a space that feels affirming and inclusive.
​
What about confidentiality?
What you share in therapy stays between us, except in rare situations where I have a legal or ethical responsibility to break confidentiality (e.g. if there’s a serious risk of harm). I’ll explain this in more detail before we begin.
​
What’s the best way to get started?
You’re very welcome to get in touch to ask any questions or arrange an initial session. I’ll respond with care — and never any pressure. Before we meet, I’ll send you some pre-therapy information so you know what to expect.
