Frequently asked Questions
Not at all. You don't need the right words, a clear starting point, or even a full picture of what's going on. Plenty of people come to their first session not really knowing where to begin, and that's completely fine. We'll go at whatever pace feels right for you.
You don't need a crisis or a clear diagnosis to come to counselling. If something feels off, heavy, or stuck that's reason enough. You don't have to justify being here
Alot of people often decide to have counselling when everything feels okay too, maybe it's just somewhere to be open or talk about things that may have happened in the past. We can help no matter how you feel.
Yes. Whoever you are, whatever you do for work, wherever you're from, however you talk about things, you're welcome here. Counselling isn't just for people who already know how to ask for help.
That's normal, and you're not expected to have "done therapy" before. The first session is really just about getting comfortable, there's no test to pass and nothing you need to prepare.
There's no fixed number. Some people find a handful of sessions is enough; others want longer. We won't push you toward a set programme, it's your process, on your timeline.
Yes, whatever feels most comfortable. In person, online, or a mix of the two, it's the same space to talk, just in whichever way works for you.
No pressure, no obligation. If it's not the right fit, you can stop, and it won't affect how you're treated if you ever want to come back.
Sessions are £50, for both in person & online.
Each session is 50 minutes, enough time to properly get into what's on your mind, without feeling rushed at either end.
