FAQ
How do I know If counselling is right for me?
You are the expert of yourself and I believe you will know if counselling is right for you. Counselling can work for everyone, but it's important to find the right counsellor. You can trust your own sense of whether the relationship feels comfortable and supportive.
How do I know if I need Counselling?
Counselling sessions can help you to gain clarity on any issues, change old patterns, untangle complex personal issues, or embark on a journey of self development. You may seek counselling as a result of a crisis, or you may be encouraged to seek counselling by family members, friends or colleagues. But ultimately only you can make the decision if counselling is right for you.
What happens in a counselling session?
I provide a safe environment to allow you to explore your issues. I am highly trained in listening and reflecting. With most types of therapy you are free to discuss what you wish, from everyday events, dilemmas, feelings, and thoughts, to regrets, aspirations, memories and dreams.
In our first session, we'll talk about your goals, challenges, and how we can work together to support your mental health journey. It's a chance for you to ask questions and get a feel for how therapy will work.

Therapist request GP details for the unlikely event you had a medical emergency while attending therapy. In the case of Psychological or emotional emergency, your therapist would seek your permission to contact your GP in the interests of your safety and/or wellbeing.
Will my counselling sessions be confidential?
Yes, counselling sessions are confidential. I am ethically bound to keep what you share private.
*Note that as a registered Counsellor I am obliged to have a supervisor overseeing my work, to ensure I am maintaining a high level of assistance to my clients. While I might discuss the generalities of your case with my supervisor I would not divulge your identity and the supervisor would also be under oath to protect the privacy of any information that is shared.
Will any of my information be shared?
Therapists are committed to your privacy, so sharing your personal information is a rare occurrence.
There are two exceptions:
1. The first exception is if the therapist becomes aware that a client is in imminent danger to themselves or others, or that someone else is a danger to the client.
In this case you would be encouraged to seek necessary support, and if you were unable or unwilling to do so the therapist has a duty of care to seek this support on your behalf.
2. The second exception is if the therapist becomes aware that the client intended to commit a major crime of any sort.
In such case the therapist ahs a legal obligation to disclose such information to the relevant authorities.
*Note that for the purposes of therapy personal drug use or addictions are not considered to be criminal (unless they involve anyone underage) They are only seen as areas to addressed in therapy.
