Frequently asked questions


No. You may simply know that something feels difficult or that you want life to feel different; we can explore that together.

 

We’ll talk about what brought you here, what you’d like help with, and what you hope to gain from therapy. It’s also an opportunity to see how comfortable you feel working with me.

Yes. Individual therapy offers space to explore relationship difficulties, understand your responses, and clarify your needs and choices. I often say that it's possible to do couples counselling with only one person in the room. Why? Because if one person changes, the entire relationship dynamic changes.

Both can be helpful. We may explore how earlier experiences influence current patterns while using practical tools to address the challenges you’re facing today.

You don’t need to be in crisis to seek support. We can explore feelings of dissatisfaction, lost direction, or disconnection from yourself, even when life appears to be going well.
