Question and Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

If you're wondering whether your struggles are "serious enough" for therapy, that thought alone is a sign you could benefit from support. Therapy is a professional, safe, confidential and supportive space where you can address common mental health challenges with a trained professional. Like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, or self-doubt, career concerns, etc. It helps you build coping skills, improve emotional well-being, and create positive changes in your life.

You might consider therapy if:

1. You feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unable to cope with daily life for an extended period.

2. You’re experiencing persistent sadness, anxiety, anger or any behaviour that interferes with your daily functioning.

3. You’re facing major life changes, career, relationship issues, or trauma, such as grief, loss, divorce, or abuse.

Therapy isn't just for crises—it's also for self-improvement, growth, building resilience, exploring personal goals, and developing healthy coping mechanisms.

The duration of therapy varies depending on your goals and challenges.

  • Some people feel better after a few sessions.
  • Others prefer ongoing support over months or years. Your therapist will regularly review progress and adjust the approach as needed.

Both online and in-person therapy is effective. Online therapy offers:

  • Flexibility to attend sessions from anywhere.
  • Comfort and convenience, especially for those with busy schedules. In-person therapy provides a more traditional setting. Choose what feels best for you.

This is probably the most common concern we hear, and it's completely understandable. The truth? Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Just like you'd see a doctor for a physical injury, therapy is about healing and growth. Mental health is health – period.

You don't need to have everything figured out to start therapy. Many clients come in feeling something isn't quite right but can't pinpoint why. That's perfectly normal. Our job is to explore together, not to judge or diagnose immediately. We're partners in understanding your inner world.

Confidentiality is the cornerstone of our practice. What you share stays between us, with extremely rare legal exceptions that we'll discuss openly. You're in a 100% safe, judgment-free zone. Your story is sacred, and we honour that.

While friends are amazing, therapists are trained professionals who offer objective, skilled guidance. We have tools, techniques, and a depth of understanding that goes beyond friendly advice. We're not here to replace your support system but to enhance it.

*Remember: Seeking help is a courageous first step. You're not alone, and you're already stronger for being here.
