Question 1

What happens in the first session?

Accepted Answer

We’ll begin by talking about what’s brought you (or your child) to therapy. It’s a chance to share concerns, ask questions, and get a feel for how we might work together.

Question 2

Do I need to have a diagnosis or a clear problem?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Many people come to therapy unsure of what’s wrong — they just know something doesn’t feel okay. That’s a good enough reason to seek support.

Question 3

Will I (or my child) have to talk about everything straight away?

Accepted Answer

No. Therapy moves at a pace that feels manageable. It’s okay to take time to build trust — that’s part of the process.

Question 4

How long does therapy last?

Accepted Answer

Some people come for a few sessions, others for longer-term work. This depends on what you’re looking for, and we’ll talk about it together as things unfold.

Question 5

Do you work online?

Accepted Answer

Yes — I offer online sessions where appropriate, especially for older adolescents and young adults. In-person sessions are also available in Ayrshire, Glasgow, and Edinburgh.
