Will everything I say be confidential?

Yes, confidentiality begins from your initial enquiry and continues throughout all of your sessions. However, there are rare instances, both professionally and legally, where confidentiality may need to be broken. This would occur if I believe you or someone else is at serious risk or if there is evidence of certain illegal activities. In such cases, I would discuss this with you before contacting the relevant authorities.

​

Will you make my problems go away?

Unfortunately I don't have a magic want that can instantly resolve your problems. Instead, I will work alongside you, supporting you to explore the emotions and origins of your issues. I believe that you already hold the answers within and have the potential to overcome your challenges. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental, supportive environment to help you gain insights and make informed decisions for your future.

​

I’m worried it might actually make me feel worse?

Sessions can sometimes bring up difficult and painful emotions, especially at the start. While this may feel challenging, it is an important part of the healing process. Over time, as you gain deeper insight and understanding, you will begin to feel better and process much of the work outside the therapy room as well.

​

Where would we meet?

I work face to face with sessions held in my Practice located in central Newbury. 

​

How often would we meet?

I do not require you to attend a mimimum number of sessions however for our work together to be beneficial, a regular commitment and cooperative effort from both you and me are essential. We can meet either weekly or bi-weekly, whatever suits your finances and availability best.

​

What will happen in the first session?

In our first session, we’ll explore working together and discuss the issues you’d like help with. We will also agree on an written Agreement in accordance with the BACP and EMCC ethical frameworks, outlining what to expect, including confidentiality, cancellation policy, and boundaries.
