FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. How does online therapy work across the UK?

Online therapy works just like face-to-face sessions, but with the convenience of meeting from your own home. I connect via a secure, confidential video platform, such as Zoom, allowing you to access my dedicated professional support anywhere in England, Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland. All you need is a private space, a stable internet connection, and a computer, tablet, or smartphone.

2. Is there any evidence for the therapies you offer?

Yes. Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)  and Mindfulness are evidence-based approaches for stress and anxiety.  

3. How many sessions will I need?

I offer a structured short-term framework (usually around 12-15 sessions) which includes setting your goals for therapy, understanding the importance of  your life's Values, and providing lasting support strategies to help manage the ups and downs of life.  Our work is bespoke, focused, purposeful, and clear from start to finish.

4. Is online therapy as effective as seeing someone in person?

Yes. Research consistently shows that online counselling is just as effective as face-to-face therapy for a wide range of emotional difficulties, including anxiety and low self-esteem. Many clients find that working online allows them to feel more comfortable, save travel time, and integrate therapeutic insights more easily into their daily environment.
