Therapy & Sessions
Not at all. Therapy isn’t just for when things fall apart, it’s also for anyone who wants to understand themselves better, build self-trust, or make life feel less heavy. You don’t need a “big reason” to start.
It can feel uncomfortable at first, but that’s often part of healing. In a safe, grounded space, naming what’s there helps you process and release it instead of carrying it alone.
No. Therapy can be short-term, long-term, or somewhere in between. You decide how long we work together based on what feels useful, there’s no obligation or set timeframe.
The first session is mostly about getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’d like to focus on, and how I work.
Not at all, you don’t need a plan or a list. Sometimes people come in simply because something feels off but they can’t name it yet. We can explore it together and see where it leads.
That’s totally okay. Emotions are part of healing, not a sign of weakness. You don’t need to apologise or hold back, my space is meant to hold whatever comes up.
Everything you share is confidential. The only exceptions are if there’s serious risk of harm to yourself or someone else, or when required by law, but we’d talk about that before any action is taken.
You can find more information about confidentiality in the Disclosure Statement in the Policies section.
That’s understandable, and it’s okay to be cautious. We can take things slowly, talk openly about what hasn’t worked in the past, and make sure you feel safe this time.
That’s completely okay. I offer a free 15-minute chat to see if my approach feels right for you. If at any point you feel it isn’t, there’s no pressure or contract. It’s important you find the person who feels like a good match.
Then we look at what’s missing and try a different way. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all; sometimes a small shift in focus or approach can make a big difference.
Hypnosis
It feels a bit like drifting into a daydream.
Some people feel calm, others notice a busy or active mind. What matters is that you remain aware and in control while allowing the experience to unfold naturally.
No, you stay fully in control the whole time. Hypnosis is simply a state that helps your mind be more open to positive change. You won’t lose awareness (and definitely won’t turn into a chicken)
Completely. You stay in control the whole time. You can talk, move, or stop whenever you want. It’s simply a way of working with your subconscious to support change.
Most people can experience hypnosis. It tends to work best when you’re open and curious, and it’s always a collaborative process, not something done to you. Even if you’re unsure or sceptical, we can still work effectively and adapt the approach to suit you.
Working online
Sessions take place via secure video, from a private space, with the same professional and confidential framework.
Yes. For many difficulties, it is equally effective. The therapeutic relationship matters more than the physical setting.
Clinical hypnotherapy works effectively online when delivered by a trained practitioner, using the same principles as in-person sessions.
Sessions are structured, guided, and conducted in a controlled and ethical way, with your consent at all times.
You work from your own safe space, which can deepen relaxation and make the process feel more natural and contained.
Using headphones can enhance focus and depth, if you have them, even better.
Flexibility, access from anywhere, continuity, and for some people, a greater sense of emotional safety.
