How does therapy help?

​

Counselling can help in a few powerful ways, especially when you're carrying the kind of emotional weight you ​will describe in sessions.

• It gives you space to speak your truth without being dismissed, judged or minimized - something your past may have lacked.

• A therapist can help untangle the emotional knots left by gaslighting, emotional neglect, and unresolved trauma, so you're not just surviving but healing.

• It can reframe how you see yourself, not as the scape or peacemaker but as someone who deserved better, then and now.

• It strengthens boundaries and helps you deal with the lasting effects of toxic dynamics, whether that's anger, guilt or grief.

​

You've already done the hard part, facing the truth. Therapy helps you carry it differently.​

​

The Initial Consultation

I offer a free, 30-minute consultation, which can be conducted online or by phone. This session is an opportunity for us to connect, discuss your reasons for seeking counselling, and share key information. It’s important that you feel assured we’re the right fit to work together.

If you feel comfortable after the consultation, we can schedule your first counselling session at a mutually convenient time.

​

What to expect from the first session

In counselling it's important to have an agreement, this is how we navigate the terms and conditions of our therapeutic relationship. This benefits both the client and counsellor and this helps us to work towards a positive foundation by respecting the boundaries we define.
