Common Questions
What is the difference between counselling and psychotherapy?
Counselling focuses on specific issues or life challenges and can be short-term. Psychotherapy is a deeper, longer-term process aimed at understanding the root causes of your difficulties and building lasting personal growth and resilience. I offer both and once we start working together, we will work out if this is short-term or more long-term therapy.
How long does a session last?
Our sessions are 50 minutes long. This duration allows for a deep and reflective exploration of your thoughts and feelings, providing the thinking space needed for meaningful progress and insight.
Can I book an online session?
Absolutely. I offer both in-person sessions in Sale, Trafford as well as remote sessions via video or phone call. This flexibility lets you access support wherever you feel most comfortable and safe.
What is person-centred counselling?
People are surprised when I say I don't give advice to solve problems. That's because person-centred counselling is built on three key principles: empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard. In sessions, this means I'll listen closely, be honest and real with you, and accept you without judgement - creating the conditions for you to grow and make sense of things in your own way.
How do I know if I'm ready to start therapy?
If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or simply want clarity and perspective on your current life challenges, it sounds like you may be ready to begin counselling with me.
How many sessions do I need?
It's completely up to you. If one feels enough, that's fine.
How often are the sessions?
I recommend weekly sessions to maintain the momentum of our work together. However, we can work to a schedule that's right for you, including fortnightly or monthly sessions.
What is your cancellation policy?
Please give at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or change an appointment. Cancellations with less notice, or missed sessions, will be charged at the full fee.
Do you work with children?
No, I only work with adults 18+.
