Question 1

What is humanistic therapy?

Accepted Answer

Humanistic therapy is a collaborative, client-led approach that focuses on your unique experiences, feelings, and personal growth. Rather than giving advice or solutions, I provide a supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, reconnect with yourself, and develop greater self-awareness.

Question 2

What can therapy help me with?

Accepted Answer

Therapy can support a wide range of experiences, including anxiety, stress, life transitions, identity questions, relationship challenges, loss, and self-esteem. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting, we can begin wherever you are.

Question 3

How do sessions work?

Accepted Answer

Sessions typically last 50 minutes and are shaped around what feels most helpful for you. I offer:
In-person sessions
Online sessions
Walk-and-talk (outdoor) sessions
We’ll regularly review our work together to ensure it continues to meet your needs.

Question 4

Do I need to know what to talk about before starting?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Many people come to therapy unsure where to begin. We can gently explore whatever feels most present for you, at your own pace.

Question 5

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

You can get in touch to arrange your free introductory call. From there, we’ll explore what you’re looking for and whether working together feels like the right fit.

Question 6

What is your approach to therapy?

Accepted Answer

My work is grounded in a mind–body approach, recognising that emotions, experiences, and stress can be held physically as well as mentally. I integrate approaches such as Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, and eco-therapy, depending on what suits you.

Where are you based?

Accepted Answer

How often will we meet?

Accepted Answer

This depends on your needs. Many clients choose weekly sessions, but we can decide together what feels right for you.

Question 12

What makes your approach different?

Accepted Answer

My work is rooted in the belief that you already hold the answers within you. I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental space where you can explore your story, reconnect with your body, and move towards greater clarity and self-acceptance.
