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, no-obligation consultation by phone or video call. This brief conversation allows us to discuss your needs and goals, answer your questions, and explain how I work. It also helps us decide whether my services are the right fit for you and outline the next steps if you choose to move forward.

​

What to Expect in Your First Session

In your first counselling session, we’ll start by discussing an agreement that guides our work together. This agreement clarifies boundaries, expectations, and practical arrangements, helping both you and your counsellor feel safe and respected. Establishing this foundation ensures that our sessions are structured, supportive, and focused on your well-being from the very beginning.
