If everyday life feels like a constant uphill battle, it is worth exploring. For adults, this might look like chronic overthinking or feeling physically exhausted by stress. For children and teens, it often shows up as sudden changes in behavior, school refusal, intense mood swings, or withdrawal from things they used to love. You do not need to wait for a total crisis to seek support.
 

What happens during the very first session?

The first session is a gentle, low pressure assessment. For adults and teens, it is a space to share what you have been experiencing and what you hope to change. For younger children, I usually meet with the parent or guardian first to gather history, followed by a collaborative initial session with the child focused on building safety, comfort and trust.

Do you offer in-person or online/ video sessions ?

I offer both in- person and online options. While adults often thrive in virtual spaces. I generally recommend in-person sessions for children so we can utilize creative tactile tools and play- based techniques effectively. Do not worry if your child cannot sit still for the whole session because children are not expected to sit and talk for 50 minutes. My work with my younger clients is highly active, utilizing play, drawing, games and body movement exercises ( somatic). We process their big feelings through action and creativity, making the experience engaging and entirely natural for their developmental age.
 

Will you tell me what my teenager talks about in session?

Our sessions are confidential. However, safety is my top priority. If your teen shares anything indicating they are a danger to themselves or others, or if they disclose that someone they know is in danger I will involve you immediately and I might have to involve the appropriate authorities. For more details on child safety please reach out to me or your local GP, child services and police. 

How many sessions will it take to start feeling better?

There is no one size fits all answer, as healing is a unique process.  We will review our progress together to ensure the pace feels right for you.
