FAQ

1 / What can I expect from the first session?

In our initial session, the focus is on understanding your background and needs. It's an opportunity for us to explore your goals and set a direction for our sessions together. Therapy involves collaboration towards your personal growth, rather than providing advice or being a social space.

2 / How long is a session?

Sessions typically run between 50 to 55 minutes. However, I'm flexible and open to adjusting the duration based on your specific requirements.

​

3 / Is therapy confidential?

Absolutely. Your privacy and confidentiality are of utmost importance in therapy. Your sessions are a safe and confidential space where you can freely express yourself. It's essential to note that there are legal and ethical boundaries to confidentiality, primarily when there's a risk of harm to yourself or others. During our initial session, we'll discuss these boundaries and ensure you feel comfortable and informed about confidentiality within the therapeutic process.

4 / How long will therapy take?

The length of therapy varies for each individual and depends on your specific goals and needs. Some people benefit from short-term therapy focused on a particular issue, which might take a few weeks or months. Others may choose to engage in longer-term therapy for deeper exploration and lasting change, which can span a year or more. We will regularly review your progress to ensure therapy continues to meet your needs.
