Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about therapy, my approach, and what to expect when working together.
You are welcome to seek support for any emotional, personal, or life challenges you may be experiencing. This may include anxiety, stress, difficulties in relationships, or a sense of feeling emotionally stuck or overwhelmed. Even if your thoughts or concerns are not yet fully clear, simply feeling that you need support is already a meaningful and valid reason to begin therapy.
Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. I'll ask about what brings you in, your background, and what you're hoping to achieve. It's also your opportunity to ask questions and see if we feel like a good fit. There is no pressure — you're in charge of your own pace.
One session lasts 50–60 minutes. This creates enough space for thoughtful, supportive, and meaningful work together. We move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, without pressure or rush.
his is different for everyone and depends on your individual needs, goals, and what you would like support with. For some people, a few sessions are enough to gain clarity and feel supported, while for others the process may take more time. Throughout our work together, we can gently reflect on your progress and adapt the pace or format of therapy in a way that feels right and supportive for you.
Our work together is more than a conversation. It is a supportive, structured, and professional process that is shaped around your needs and what you would like to explore or change in your life. I draw on different psychological approaches and techniques depending on your situation, and together we find what feels most helpful for you. Sometimes I may also offer gentle reflections or practical exercises between sessions, if that feels appropriate and supportive for your process.
Yes. Everything discussed in therapy is strictly confidential. There are a few legally mandated exceptions, such as when there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, but these are rare. I take your privacy very seriously and will always explain any limits to confidentiality upfront. Trust, emotional safety, and respect are at the heart of my work.
Change can look different for everyone. Sometimes you may notice small shifts or relief even after the first few sessions, while deeper and more lasting changes tend to unfold gradually over time as our work continues. We will move at a pace that feels right for you, and we will regularly check in on your progress so you feel supported and aware of the changes along the way.
Yes, you are always free to end therapy whenever you feel it is right for you. If you decide to do so, I would gently encourage us to talk about it together first, so we can reflect on your experience, acknowledge the work you have done, and bring the process to a thoughtful and supportive close. Closure acts as an important and meaningful part of therapy.
What matters most is how you feel during our sessions. If you experience a sense of calm, safety, and feeling genuinely heard, this is usually a good indication that we can work well together. At the same time, you are always free to decide whether to continue our work or to explore support with another specialist if that feels more suitable for you.
