Prices & FAQ

Your initial consultation involves discussing your history and goals. Sessions provide confidential, non-judgmental support with personalised therapeutic techniques including DBT, ACT, CBT, and mindfulness. Regular check-ins track progress with open communication throughout.

Consider therapy if you're experiencing persistent distress, difficulty coping with life changes, struggling relationships, feeling stuck, or dealing with specific concerns like ADHD, anxiety, or depression. If something doesn't feel right, that's reason enough to explore it.

Duration varies based on the complexity of what you're working on, the therapeutic approach, and consistency. CBT typically involves 12-20 sessions; DBT usually lasts 6 months to a year; ACT and mindfulness approaches vary widely. We'll discuss a realistic timeline in your first session.
