A few small questions
You don't need to be in crisis, and you don't need a reason that sounds big enough. If something has felt heavy for a while, that is reason enough. Our first conversation is a chance to see how it feels — no commitment.
We'll talk a little about what's brought you here, what you'd like to be different, and any questions you have about how I work. You choose how much you share. Many people are surprised by how gentle it is.
Sessions are 50 minutes, usually weekly to begin with. Some people come for six sessions, others for longer. We review together regularly so it always feels like your choice.
Yes. What you say stays between us, within the limits of my professional ethical framework — which I'll explain clearly at the start, including the rare situations where safety would come first.
