How I Help You
Your Questions Answered
I understand that seeking help can be daunting. This FAQ section aims to address common queries related to my counselling and therapy practice.
How can therapy benefit me?
Many people bring complex experiences that require more than one modality to support them in their therapy sessions. As an integrative therapist, I have multiple therapeutic tools that can be pulled together depending on your needs and the difficulties that you are experiencing.
I can offer short and long term therapy, face to face meetings and/or Zoom sessions.
What types of therapy do you offer?
I am qualified to offer Counselling, Psychotherapy, Couples therapy, Psychosexual therapy, Young People’s counselling, and Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®).
​
I am also able to support clients recovering from traumatic events.
Sessions
The talking therapy sessions last one hour. TRE® sessions last one and a half hours.

What should I expect in a session?
The first session is an opportunity to discuss the difficulties you are experiencing and decide the best form of therapy that will support you moving forward.
In a typical ongoing session, you will have the opportunity to discuss your thoughts and feelings in a non-judgmental environment. Each session lasts about 60 minutes and is confidential.
What should I expect in a TRE® session?
TRE® sessions are an experiential body focused session.
During these sessions you will experience and learn to access, stop and start your neurogenic tremor mechanism through TRE® exercises.
The session's aim is to help you return to a naturally balanced state within your body and mind. You will not be asked to recall a traumatic event.
