Frequently Asked Questions

Here's what we usually get asked

What issues do you provide help for?

I support adults experiencing anxiety, overthinking, emotional overwhelm, trauma, grief, low mood, life transitions, stress, burnout, gut-related stress and IBS symptoms, and patterns that keep repeating in relationships or daily life.

Do I need to have a diagnosis to book?

No. You do not need a formal diagnosis to access support. Many people come to therapy simply because they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or not like themselves.

Is this just regular counselling?

Not exactly. My work goes beyond simply talking about what’s wrong. Sessions are designed to help you understand patterns, shift unhelpful responses, and create practical emotional change.

How is your approach different from standard talk therapy?

My approach is more structured and focused. Rather than staying in the same conversation for months, this style of therapy is aimed at helping you understand what’s happening underneath the problem and moving you toward change more effectively.

What is Strategic Psychotherapy?

Strategic Psychotherapy is a structured, practical approach to therapy that focuses on understanding how problems are maintained and how change occurs.

Psychotherapy is an umbrella term that includes approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, strengths-based approaches, and brief therapy models. Strategic Psychotherapy draws from these approaches while focusing on helping clients understand how they do the problem — including the patterns, behaviours, and thinking styles that keep them stuck.

It also involves psychoeducation, helping clients better understand how their mind works while learning practical strategies for meaningful change.

What is Clinical Hypnosis?

Clinical Hypnosis is a safe, therapeutic method used to help the mind and body become more receptive to change. It is not stage hypnosis or mind control. It simply helps calm the nervous system and access patterns at a deeper level.

Do I have to do hypnosis?

No. Hypnosis is only used if it feels appropriate and comfortable for you. Therapy is always collaborative, and you will never be forced into an approach that doesn’t feel right.

Is online therapy actually effective?

Yes. Online therapy can be highly effective and is often more convenient, accessible, and comfortable for clients. Many people find it easier to open up from the privacy of their own home.

How many sessions will I need?

This varies depending on your goals and what you are working through. Some clients benefit from short-term focused work, while others choose longer support. We can discuss what is most appropriate for you.

Many of my clients get results after 5 sessions.

Will I have to talk about my childhood?

Not necessarily. While your past can absolutely be important, therapy does not have to mean going over every detail of your life. We focus on what is most relevant to understanding and shifting the problem.

What if I’m not good at talking about feelings?

That’s completely okay. You do not need to be “good at therapy” to benefit. My role is to guide the process and help you make sense of what you’re experiencing in a way that feels manageable.

Can this help if I’ve already tried therapy before?

Yes especially if you felt like previous therapy was helpful to a point, but didn’t create the kind of deeper or lasting change you were hoping for. Many clients come to this work after feeling stuck in more traditional therapy models.

Is this suitable for trauma or long-standing patterns?

Yes, depending on your needs and readiness. I work with people who have experienced trauma, difficult life events, and long-term emotional patterns, using approaches that are paced, supportive, and clinically informed.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes. Therapy is confidential, with the usual professional and legal exceptions around safety, risk, and mandatory reporting. This will be explained clearly before we begin.

How do I know if this is the right fit for me?

If you’re looking for therapy that is thoughtful, practical, emotionally supportive, and focused on creating change rather than staying stuck in the same cycle then this may be a good fit for you.

What is EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help people process trauma, anxiety, distressing memories, and emotional overwhelm. It works by helping the brain reprocess experiences that may feel emotionally "stuck".

What can EMDR help with?

EMDR may help with trauma, anxiety, panic, grief, stress, low self-esteem, emotional triggers and patterns linked to difficult life experiences.

What is Gut-Directed Therapy?

Gut-Directed therapy is a psychological approach designed to support people experiencing IBS, gut-related stress, and digestive symptoms that may be influenced by the gut-brain connection.

How can gut-directed therapy help?

Gut-Directed therapy may help reduce the impact of stress, anxiety and hyper-vigilance on digestive symptoms while improving emotional wellbeing, coping and confidence in managing gut-related discomfort.
