Question 1

How do I book my first session?

Accepted Answer

Simply visit our booking page, select your preferred service, choose a date, and submit your request. I'll be in touch within 24 hours to confirm your appointment.

Question 2

What happens in a first session?

Accepted Answer

Your first session is all about getting to know you and your needs. We'll discuss what you're experiencing, your goals, and explore which approach might serve you best. There's no pressure...everything moves at your pace.

Question 3

Do I need to prepare anything?

Accepted Answer

No special preparation is needed. Just come as you are. Wear comfortable clothing, and know that you're in a safe, confidential space.

Question 4

How is this different from traditional therapy?

Accepted Answer

While traditional therapy focuses primarily on talking and cognitive processing, my approach is body-centred and trauma-informed. We work with what's stored in your nervous system and physical body, not just your thoughts.

Question 5

What does "trauma-informed" mean?

Accepted Answer

Trauma-informed care means I understand how trauma affects the nervous system and body. Sessions are designed to create safety, honour your pace, and work with...not against...your body's protective responses.

Question 6

Which service is right for me?

Accepted Answer

If you're unsure, book a free 15-minute consultation call. We can discuss your needs and I'll recommend the best approach for your unique situation.

Question 7

Where are sessions held?

Accepted Answer

Sessions take place in my private practice in Chelmsford, Essex. Online sessions are also available via secure video call for certain services.

Question 8

How long are sessions?

Accepted Answer

Session length varies by service: 60-minute and 90-minute sessions are available. The recommended duration will be discussed when you book.

Question 9

What's your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

I require 48 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Cancellations with less notice may incur a fee. Life happens...please just communicate with me.

Question 10

Do you offer payment plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes, payment plans are available for signature programmes and retreats. Please enquire when booking to discuss options.

Question 11

Is everything confidential?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Everything discussed in sessions is completely confidential, with rare exceptions required by law (risk of harm). Your privacy and trust are sacred.

Question 12

What if I feel triggered or overwhelmed?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are paced to your nervous system's capacity. If something feels too much, we slow down or pause. You're always in control, and I'm trained to support you through difficult moments.

Question 13

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

This varies greatly depending on what you're working with. Some clients notice shifts within 1-3 sessions; deeper work may take 6-12 sessions or more. We'll discuss this openly as we go.

Question 14

What can I expect to feel after a session?

Accepted Answer

Many clients feel deeply relaxed, lighter, or more grounded. Some experience temporary tiredness or emotional release. This is normal and part of the healing process.

Question 15

Will this work for me?

Accepted Answer

If you're open to the process and willing to engage, healing is possible. My approach works best for those ready to look inward and commit to their own wellbeing.
