Question 1

What can I expect in my first session

Accepted Answer

Our first meeting is a gentle introduction. It’s a warm, informal space where we can get to know each other and discuss what’s bringing you to counselling at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Question 2

Is everything I say confidential?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely.
Confidentiality is paramount in counselling. What you share with me stays private. The only times I may need to break confidentiality are if:
There is a serious risk of harm to you or someone else
There is a safeguarding concern involving a child or vulnerable adult
I am required by law to share information, such as in cases related to serious crime (for example: terrorism, money laundering, or drug trafficking)
If any of these situations ever arose, I would always aim to talk with you first so you understand what is happening and why. My priority is to keep you safe while protecting your privacy.

Question 3

How much do your sessions cost

Accepted Answer

I aim to keep therapy accessible.
For current session rates and to discuss individual requirements or concessionary availability
please feel free to reach out via email or during our discovery call.

Question 4

Do you offer online sessions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I offer virtual sessions through a secure and confidential video platform. This allows you to access therapeutic support from the comfort and convenience of your own private space.

Question 5

How do I know if counselling is right for me?

Accepted Answer

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply need space to talk, counselling likely can help. A free 20-minute discovery call is a calm, no-pressure way to explore whether we’re a good fit.

Question 6

How do I book a session?

Accepted Answer

Booking is straightforward. You can use the contact form, email me directly, or give me a call. I aim to respond as quickly as possible to help you begin your journey.

Question 7

What is counselling?

Accepted Answer

An FAQ section can be used to quickly answer common questions about your business like "Where do you ship to?", "What are your opening hours?", or "How can I book a service?".

Question 8

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a session?

Accepted Answer

If you need to change a session, just let me know as soon as you can. I understand that life happens, and I will always try to be as flexible and fair as possible. If you contact me directly, I can talk you through the current arrangement.

Question 9

Do you offer in-person counselling as well as online sessions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I offer counselling in Higham Ferrers and also online across the UK. You can choose the format that feels most comfortable and practical for you.

Question 10

Do you work with ADHD and neurodivergent clients?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I support many clients who are neurodivergent, including people with ADHD traits or diagnoses. I aim to keep sessions clear, calm, and adaptable so you can feel understood and supported in a way that suits you.

Question 11

How many counselling sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

There is no fixed number of sessions. Some people come for short-term support, while others prefer longer-term work. We can review things together as we go and decide what feels right for you.

Question 12

What therapy approaches do you use?

Accepted Answer

I use a person-centred, trauma-informed approach. Depending on what you need, I may also draw on CBT and solution-focused techniques. My aim is to work at your pace, in a way that feels safe, steady, and useful for you.

Question 13

What if I have tried therapy before and it did not feel helpful?

Accepted Answer

That is completely okay. Many people come to me after a difficult therapy experience. I will take time to understand what did not feel right before, and we can shape the work around your pace, needs, and comfort.

Specialised Trauma & Neurological Counselling in Higham Ferrers, Rushden, Northamptonshire

Counselling That Meets You Where You Are

Life can feel heavy, confusing, or too much at times. Therapy gives you space to slow down, breathe, and make sense of what’s happening inside you — without judgement, pressure, or expectation.

My approach is:

Warm and down‑to‑earth

Trauma‑informed

Neurodiversity‑affirming

Flexible and personalised

Rooted in real human connection

I don’t believe in one‑size‑fits‑all therapy. Your story is unique — your therapy should be too.

What I work with

What Makes My Counselling Different

Counselling shouldn’t feel clinical, intimidating, or like you’re being squeezed into a model that doesn’t fit. The way I work is different because it’s built around you — your pace, your story, your strengths, and the challenges you want to explore.

I don’t sit with a clipboard or follow a rigid script. I blend approaches so sessions feel natural, flexible, and genuinely supportive. Some weeks you might want space to talk. Other weeks you might want tools, grounding techniques, or help understanding patterns. We decide that together.

My lived experience shapes the way I work. I don’t sit above you as an “expert.” I sit with you, human to human. I listen, I adapt, and I walk alongside you as you build confidence, clarity, and emotional strength at your own pace.

If you’ve ever felt like counselling didn’t quite fit, or like you couldn’t fully be yourself, my space is designed to feel different — calmer, safer, and more real.
