At its core counselling works by creating a safe confidential space and relationship with another to share and explore your inner thoughts, judgements and explore the emotions that may be weighing you down. Working integratively means I will draw on different theories such as attachment, grief models, nervous system or trauma training to best support you.

There isn’t a fixed number. Counselling is an open-ended process, and we’ll go at a pace that feels right for you. Some people find what they need in a few sessions, while others choose to continue for longer. What matters is that the space supports the changes you’re looking for, in a way that feels meaningful and lasting.

Many people wonder about the difference between counselling, therapy, and psychotherapy. While these terms are often used interchangeably, they all describe the process of working with a qualified mental health professional to talk through challenges, explore emotions, and develop healthier coping strategies.

Counselling usually focuses on specific issues and is often short-term or medium-term. A counsellor is professionally trained in counselling theories and practical skills, with experience in face-to-face sessions to support clients through life challenges, stress, or relationship concerns.

Psychotherapy, on the other hand, generally involves longer-term work at greater depth. Psychotherapists are also trained in counselling approaches, but they often explore underlying patterns, unconscious processes, and more complex emotional difficulties. This means psychotherapy is more suited to medium- to long-term personal growth and healing.

In short, counselling is often focused on present concerns and practical support, while psychotherapy tends to work more deeply and over a longer period of time.
