No, you control what you share and when. Therapy works best when it feels safe and at your pace, I’ll never push you to talk before you’re ready.

That’s completely fine. It’s common, especially if you’ve never had space to talk about emotions before. I’ll guide the conversation gently, and we’ll find a rhythm that feels natural.

Absolutely! Please speak as you normally would. Authentic expression is encouraged. Therapy is about being yourself, not filtering your feelings.

That’s a very human worry. My sessions are confidential and judgement-free. Many clients begin therapy feeling ashamed or anxious about their situation, that’s often where the most important work begins. I’ll meet you with empathy and respect.

There’s no fixed number. Some people come for short-term counselling to focus on a specific issue; others choose longer-term therapy for deeper change. We’ll review together regularly to make sure it continues to meet your goals.

Weekly sessions are ideal at first as they help build trust and momentum. Later, you can move to fortnightly or less frequent sessions if that suits you better.

Not always. Some weeks will feel thoughtful or emotional; others lighter and more conversational. Therapy isn’t about being solemn, it’s about being real and present with whatever’s happening.

I won’t give prescriptive advice or instructions. Instead, I’ll help you understand patterns and choices so you can make decisions that feel right for you.
