How do I know I need counselling/psychotherapy?
There’s no "right" or "wrong" time to seek support. You don’t need to be in crisis or have a diagnosis to benefit from therapy. Many people come to therapy when life challenges affect their daily functioning, or simply because they want to understand themselves better, navigate a challenging life situation, or find a safe space to talk.That said, here are some signs that therapy might be helpful:You’re feeling emotionally overwhelmed or stuck- You may be struggling with stress, sadness, anxiety, anger, or a general sense of heaviness that doesn’t seem to go away. These feelings might be affecting your sleep, energy, motivation, or your ability to enjoy everyday life.Life feels harder than usual- If you're going through a big change — like a breakup, job loss, illness, relocation, or loss of a loved one — therapy can support you in processing your thoughts and emotions as you adjust. Sometimes it’s not just the event, but how it affects your sense of self and stability.You’re having difficulty in your relationships- You might be withdrawing from others, feeling disconnected, or struggling with frequent conflict. Therapy can help you understand relationship patterns, improve communication, and reconnect with others — and yourself — in healthier ways.Your usual ways of coping aren’t helping anymore- You may be finding it hard to manage your feelings, turning to unhelpful coping mechanisms (like food, substances, overworking, or avoiding), or feeling like things are spiraling despite your best efforts.You want to understand yourself better or grow- Therapy isn’t only for when things feel "wrong." Many people come to explore their identity, values, emotions, or past experiences — or simply to build resilience and live more authentically.You don’t need to wait for things to “get worse.” Counselling offers a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported — at your pace, and in your own way. If you're wondering whether therapy could help, that in itself may be a sign that it's worth exploring.
What happens in the first therapy session?
Think of it as a gentle introduction—an opportunity to get to know your therapist and start building a foundation for the work ahead.Your therapist will begin by explaining how therapy works, including confidentiality, the limits of the service, your rights and responsibilities, the cancellation policy, and what you can expect from the process. This is often called contracting.From there, you’ll be invited to share a bit about what brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping to get out of it, and whether there’s anything urgent you’d like to talk about right away. You don’t have to dive into everything at once—go at your own pace. There’s no pressure to share more than you feel ready for.It’s completely normal to feel a bit nervous or unsure before your first therapy session. And if you’re not sure what to say, that’s okay too. The easiest way to address it is simply by saying, “I don’t know what to say.” When you bring that into the room, your therapist is there with you — and together, you can explore what’s coming up and find a way forward from there. Your therapist may ask questions such as:
- What made you decide to seek therapy?
- Have you had therapy before?
- What are you hoping to change or understand better?
- What’s been going on in your life recently?
- How does therapy work?
- What approaches do you use?
- How often will we meet?
What happens in the free introductory consultation?
The introductory session is a space for you to meet with me and explore whether therapy feels like the right fit for you at this point in your life. Unlike a regular therapy session, this is more of a relaxed conversation where we can talk about what brings you here and what you might be hoping to get out of counselling.It’s also a chance for you to ask any questions you may have—about how therapy works, the approaches I use, how often we might meet, or anything else you're curious about. This session gives you the time and space to decide if you feel comfortable with me and if you'd like to begin working together. There’s no pressure to commit; it’s simply an opportunity to explore if therapy could support you with the challenges you’re facing.You can book a free introductory consultation here.
