Common Questions

Welcome, and thank you for considering psychotherapy. It's perfectly natural to have questions before beginning. This page is designed to help you feel at ease and give you a sense of what to expect. If there’s anything you’re still unsure about, please get in touch.

What can I expect from a therapy session?

Each session is 50 minutes long and takes place online using a secure video platform. The sessions are designed to be a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space for you to talk about whatever you’re experiencing, whether that’s stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, or just a general sense that something isn’t quite right.

Therapy is a collaborative process. You don’t have to have it all figured out. We will work together at your pace.

I’m feeling nervous about starting. Is that normal?

Absolutely. Starting therapy is a brave step, and it’s completely normal to feel unsure, vulnerable, or even a bit nervous.

We’ll take things slowly. I aim to create a space where you feel supported and met, just as you are.

If you have any other questions or want to arrange an initial consultation, I’d be happy to hear from you. You can contact me here.

Are the sessions covered by insurance?

Please research your insurance cover for therapy sessions. I am a member for APCP (Psychotherapy) and PSI (Psychology). Many insurances cover a percentage of the cost for sessions with a PSI member. 

Do you offer workshops?

Yes. I offer several psychoeducational and trauma-informed workshops throughout the year, starting in 2026. You can find full details and upcoming dates on the Workshops page.

How should I prepare for a session?

All you need is yourself and a quiet, private space where you feel comfortable and won’t be interrupted. It’s your time, and it’s important that you feel free to speak openly.

You’re more than welcome to bring a cup of tea, coffee, or a glass of water to the session, just as you would if we were meeting in person. Please avoid attending under the influence of alcohol or any substances, as this can affect the therapeutic process.

You don’t need to take notes or prepare anything in advance, though some people like to take notes about their thoughts and feelings between sessions. Once you agree to start therapy, I will send a contract via a link.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

If you need to cancel, please give at least 24 hours’ notice. This allows me to offer the time to someone else. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice are charged at the full rate.

How often do I need to attend?

This depends on your needs and what feels right for you. Many clients find that weekly sessions offer the consistency needed to explore things deeply, especially in the beginning. We’ll discuss what suits you best, and can always adjust as we go along.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes, confidentiality is a cornerstone of the therapeutic relationship. What you share in sessions is kept private, with a few legal and ethical exceptions (for example, if there is a serious risk of harm to yourself or someone else). We’ll talk about this in more detail during your first session.

How much does a session cost?

Sessions are €70 each. You can pay by Revolut or bank transfer, and payment details will be provided when we schedule our first appointment.

Do you offer in-person sessions?

At present, all sessions are online only. Many clients appreciate the convenience and comfort of working from home, and online therapy can be just as effective as face-to-face. If you have concerns about working online, we can talk them through together.

What kinds of issues do people bring to therapy?

There’s no “right” or “wrong” reason to come to therapy.

People often come to explore things like:

  • Anxiety or panic

  • Low mood or depression

  • Relationship difficulties

  • Childhood trauma

  • Bereavement and loss

  • Identity and self-worth

  • Life transitions or feeling stuck

But sometimes, people come simply because they want to understand themselves better, or because something just doesn’t feel right. That’s reason enough.
