FAQS

How much are sessions and do you offer rebates?

Initial sessions are priced at $190, and subsequent sessions at $160. My fees are reviewed each financial year, and they may increase accordingly. All sessions run for 50 minutes, and no rebates are available.

How do you handle sensitive topics or difficult emotions, especially for someone who struggles to open up or feels overwhelmed?

I understand that opening up can feel daunting, especially when it comes to sensitive or overwhelming topics. My approach is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can express yourself at your own pace. We’ll work together to build trust and establish coping strategies for when emotions get too intense. I also use grounding and mindfulness techniques to help manage overwhelming feelings in real time, so you don’t feel lost in the process.

What commitment is required from the client?

The main commitment required is your willingness to engage and be open to the process. Therapy can be challenging at times, and it’s important to be consistent with your sessions. I encourage you to show up ready to explore what’s going on for you and actively participate in the work between sessions (such as practicing new tools or techniques). Commitment to your growth and progress is key, but we’ll take it one step at a time!

What if I’m afraid of talking, or I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t work for me?

It's normal to feel apprehensive, especially if previous therapy experiences weren’t helpful. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure about how to "do" therapy, we can go at your pace and adjust the approach as needed. I combine both talk therapy and somatic therapy, which helps add diversity in sessions and create safety in the room for your nervous system. This can be especially useful if traditional talk therapy hasn’t worked for you in the past. We’ll explore what feels right and adjust as we go.

What is the difference between a therapist and a psychologist? 

Both therapists and psychologists are trained to help people improve their mental health, but the choice between the two may depend on your specific needs. If you’re looking for therapy or support with general life issues, a therapist could be the right fit. If you need a diagnosis, psychological testing, or treatment for a more complex mental health condition, a psychologist might be better suited for you.

Do you offer sessions in person? 

I currently only offer virtual sessions. Virtual sessions means that you can talk from the comfort of your own space. We meet via a secure online platform, and sessions provide the same level of privacy, support, and engagement.

Are results guarenteed? 

While I cannot guarantee specific results, I can assure you that I will be fully invested in helping and supporting you. Therapy is a collaborative process, and results often depend on the work you put in outside of sessions—such as applying what we discuss and staying open to change. Some challenges take time to resolve, so the more consistent and patient you are with the process, the more likely you'll see progress.
