commonly Asked questions
Therapy offers you a confidential space to reflect on your life and experiences with a view to breaking unhelpful patterns and coping mechanisms which can hold you back from enjoying life. Having a place to explore whats important to you at your own pace in the company of an empathic and compassionate person can help you to feel validated and can heal past experiences. With time people can find new meaning in their lives and have a greater sense of well-being.
Relationships can be very challenging and often people can find themselves in reoccurring conflicts and arguments. Having relationship therapy can help each person feel heard and seen and create a sense of reconnection and re-romanticing. It can help people get to the core of why differences are causing challenges and increate communication skills.
As kind, compassionate and well meaning all your friends and family are, they all have a vested interest in the choices you make and the way you live your life. Their helpful advice in rarely completely unbiased. In therapy, the therapist has no connection with your outside life and can help you explore things from an objective view point. With the safely of the confidential agreement you can talk freely and openly. Therapists are not problem solvers but are there to witness, validate and acknowledge your feelings and emotions.
Sessions are usually weekly for individuals and either weekly or fortnightly for couples or relationship work. Some fortnightly appointments for individuals are available to be discussed on an case by case basis.
Everything you share in therapy is strictly confidential subject to the exceptions in the contract in which therapist have a legal or ethical duty of care to share. This is usually where someone is at significant risk.

Research shows that the most important factor in the progress the client makes in therapy is the relationship they build with the therapist. You need to feel comfortable, safe and well supported. A good therapist will also challenge you to gain self awareness.
Always have a session before making any forward decisions, I offer a free 15 minute call and then we can book a first session. Clients are always free to leave at any time and we will keep checking into see if you are getting what you need from therapy.
This will depend hugely on each unique client and what they are bringing to the sessions. This can be discussed during the first few appointments. I offer both long term open ended therapy and short time limited work for those people that prefer a set number of sessions.
