What is individual therapy?

Individual therapy is a confidential, one-to-one therapeutic relationship between you and a qualified mental health professional. It is a structured and collaborative space where you can slow things down, reflect, and make sense of what is happening in your life.

You might come to therapy in response to trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, burnout, grief, or a major life transition. You might not have a clear reason at all, only a sense that something feels heavy, unclear, or unresolved. Both are valid starting points.

Therapy with me is grounded in trauma-informed and evidence-based practice. It is not about being judged or told what to do. It is about understanding your patterns, your history, and your strengths with honesty and care. Together, we work to build clarity, resilience, and steadiness at a pace that feels safe and manageable.

Your Therapy Journey

What to expect

Session Structure

Individual sessions are typically 50 minutes, held weekly or bi-weekly depending on your needs and preferences. We create a consistent schedule to support your progress. I do offer longer sessions if this is

Therapist Match

If you don't feel a connection with me in the first 1-2 sessions, that’s ok, I can help you find someone more suited to your unique needs.

Your Pace

There's no "right" way to do therapy. We move at your pace, addressing what feels most important to you in each moment. You're always in control.

Confidentiality

Your privacy is sacred. Everything discussed in therapy is completely confidential, with very limited legal exceptions (such as immediate danger to yourself or others).

Backed By Research

Why individual therapy works

Undivided attention & personalisation

Your therapist focuses entirely on your needs. Every intervention is tailored to your unique situation, history, and goals—not a one-size-fits-all approach.

A witness to your story

Being truly heard by another person can create an atmosphere for healing to take place. Your therapist holds your narrative with compassion and without judgment.

Scientific backing

Individual psychotherapy is one of the most thoroughly researched interventions in mental health. It's shown to improve anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, and overall life satisfaction.

Common concerns

I work at a slow and steady pace using trauma informed approaches, and you remain in control. We do not have to go into painful memories to begin supporting you.
That's completely normal, especially early on. I will help guide the conversation and ask questions that create space for reflection.
There's no fixed timeline. Some people find relief in 8-12 sessions; others work with a therapist for years. We'll regularly check in on your progress and goals.
