Frequently asked questions

What happens in the free introductory call?+

We’ll have a relaxed 20-minute conversation by phone or Zoom. You can share a little about what brings you to counselling, ask any questions you may have, and find out more about how I work. It’s also an opportunity to see whether you feel comfortable working with me, with no pressure to continue.

What if I feel nervous about starting counselling?+

It’s completely natural to feel nervous about starting counselling. You don’t need to know what to say or have everything figured out before we meet. We can take things at your pace, and there’s no pressure to talk about anything before you feel ready. The first step is simply a chance to talk, ask questions and see how you feel.

Is counselling confidential?+

Yes. Confidentiality is an important part of counselling and helps build a trusting therapeutic relationship. There are some limits to confidentiality, which I’ll explain before we begin our sessions. My practice follows the BACP Ethical Framework.
