Welcome to my website

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I book a counselling session?

You can easily book a session by filling out online contact form, calling me on 07492441212 or sending an email to d.counselling@icloud.com

What can I expect during my first therapy session?

During your first session, you get to know me and together we will outline your concerns, set goals if needed and get an understandnig of how we will work together.  We would have more time to explore your concerns and see how to move forward.  

How long does a counselling process take?

Therapy is very individual and gives you space to work on your needs.  After an initial consultation, you would be able to decide whether short term or long term therapy is a suitable choice for you.  Some individuals prefer to stay short term for a variety of reasons.  Others stay longer, because they need more time to work on and through their needs.  I provide short & long term therapy of 6 to 20 sessions, until you feel you have done enough for yourself to be ready to go through the challenges life offers.

How can therapy support me?

People often ask me about the benefits of counselling/psychotherapy, (also called talking therapies), and how they can help them to change or enhance their lives.  I believe, that counselling and psychotherapy may support you in many different ways.  For example, if you struggle to manage your feelings in situations where you need to be fully present and able to engage with others.  It also provides you a space wherein you can bring any concerns, you do not feel comortable sharing or are afraid of voicing elsewhere.  Everyone of us is unique in their own way, and has different needs and wants to be fulfilled. I support my clients on their journeys towards positive change, and believe, that each client has the answers deeply embedded within themselves,  that are unique to them.  Very often we do not realise, that we already have the strength and skills within ourselves.  These become unseen, unrecognised throughout our lives and simply need a support of a therapist in order to be rediscovered.

What are the benefits of having therapy?

The benefits  you may gain from therapy vary and include: 


  • being able to manage anxiety, depression, anger, stress, sleep
  • finding a balance in your life
  • understanding the causes of your challenges
  • being able to recognise triggers of your unhelpful behaviours 
  • trying new behaviours which produce better results 
  • beginning to approach life in a more open way

  • setting goals you have been postponing and working towards achieving them
  • building confidence

How long do I need therapy?

Therapy is very individual and gives you space to work on your needs with a chosen therapist. After an initial consultation, you would be able to decide whether short term or long term therapy is a suitable choice for you. Some individuals prefer to stay short term for a variety of reasons. Others stay longer, because they need more time to reflect and work on and through their needs. I provide short term therapy of 6 up to 20 sessions, with a choice of staying long term, up until you feel you have done enough for yourself to be ready to go through the challenges life offers from day to day.​​
