This varies, as everyone’s needs are different. Some people find a few sessions helpful for a specific concern, whilst others choose longer-term therapy to explore deeper concerns, past experiences or trauma.

Absolutely. Many people come to therapy with a sense that something isn’t quite right, even if they are unable to put it into words. Therapy can be a place to gently explore what’s going on and clarify what you need at your own pace.

TA is a talking therapy that helps you to understand yourself and your relationships and identify patterns you may find yourself repeating. It looks at how past experiences can influence how we think, feel and relate to others in the here and now. It aims to develop greater awareness, choice and self-compassion. It is collaborative and focused on helping you make meaningful and lasting change.

This will be discussed at your first session. Many clients start with weekly sessions to create consistency and help build a safe therapeutic relationship. Session frequency will be reviewed and adjusted when required.

Our counsellor has experience working with neurodivergent clients and aims to offer a flexible, respectful and collaborative approach. Therapy can be adapted to suit how you process, communicate and experience the world.

This is taken very seriously; what you share in therapy is confidential. There are only a few legal and ethical exceptions, such as if there is a serious risk of harm to you or someone else, or concerns about a child or vulnerable person. These limits to confidentiality will be explained clearly in the first session.

Our counsellor will keep brief, professional notes, recording only what is clinically relevant to support the therapeutic work. Our counsellor is registered with the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office), which regulates how personal data is stored and handled and supports GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).

That is completely understandable. You don’t have to know what to say or how to say it. Things will be managed at your pace. Many people worry about their emotions, going blank, or saying the “wrong” thing. There is no wrong way to be in therapy, and our counsellor is trained to gently guide conversations. Sometimes, simply noticing how you are feeling is a good place to begin.
