Therapy works best when you feel at least a little open to it. You won’t be forced to talk or pushed to share anything before you’re ready. The first session is about seeing how it feels and whether it’s right for you.

Sessions are a space for you. You might talk, think things through, ask questions, or sit quietly. There’s no pressure to perform or explain yourself perfectly. We go at your pace and start wherever you are.

That’s completely okay. A lot of people don’t know where to start and you don’t need to. We can figure things out together.

What you say in therapy is private. I don’t share session content with parents or guardians.

If there is ever a reason to speak with your parents, I will talk with you first and explain what will be shared and why. You will always be kept informed.

The only times confidentiality must be broken are when safety is involved or when the law requires it. Even then, I aim to be open and supportive with you wherever possible.

Your first session is attended with a parent or guardian. This helps everyone understand how therapy works and gives space for questions.

After that, sessions are one-to-one, just you and me.

Each session lasts 50 minutes.

There’s no set number. Some people come for a short time, others for longer. We’ll review things together as we go.

That’s okay too. Therapy should feel safe and respectful. If something doesn’t feel right, we can talk about it, or you can decide not to continue.

No. Therapy is for anyone who feels anxious, stressed, low, stuck, or just wants support. You don’t need to be in crisis to come.

No preparation is needed. Just come as you are.

That’s completely normal. Many people feel unsure or anxious before their first session. Therapy is approached at your pace, and you are always in control of what you choose to share.
