How many sessions would I need?If you are a new client, the minimum amount of sessions required is three to four. If you are a returning client, sometimes only one session may be necessary. Usually, we can continue therapy for as long as we feel it is worthwhile. For some people, 6-12 sessions are sufficient while others might choose to see me for longer. We’ll talk regularly about how it’s going but you can of course end therapy at any time.
What can I expect during my first session?Our work together will start with whatever it is that brings you to my practice be it a symptom, a struggle or a desire, but after that, your motivation and commitment to engage with the work will be fundamental to the development and outcome of the coaching and/or therapeutic process. What the commitment offers is an opportunity for you to explore and question your life, beliefs, behavioural patterns and expectations, to perhaps express something that you have not expressed before, and maybe to become aware of things that previously you were unaware of. Begin your transformative journey and book your confidential session now.
Still unsure?Book a free 10-minute discovery session to receive clarity regarding any questions you might have, or even just to get to know a little bit more to be sure that this mutual partnership will be right for you.
How Long does a session last?You can choose between a 10-minute free discovery session, a pre-paid 30 minute coaching session, a pre-paid 60 minute therapy session, or a pre-paid 90 minute hypnosis session. All sessions start and end punctually in an effort to respect one another’s time commitments, as well as to make the most of each session.
Hypnotherapy is a form of mind control:Many people believe that hypnotherapy is a way to control people’s minds and make them do things against their will. This is not true. Hypnotherapy is a voluntary process, and the client is always in control.
Hypnotherapy is only used for entertainment:Hypnosis is often used for entertainment, such as in stage shows, which can give the impression that it’s not a serious therapy. However, hypnotherapy is a legitimate form of therapy that has been used for a variety of mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and addiction.
Hypnotherapy is not evidence-based:There is a misconception that hypnotherapy is not a scientifically-proven form of therapy. However, there is evidence to support the effectiveness of hypnotherapy for a range of mental health issues. Hypnotherapy has been endorsed by many professional organizations, including the American Medical Association and the American Psychological Association.
Hypnotherapy is a quick fix:Some people believe that hypnotherapy can solve their problems quickly and easily, without any effort on their part. However, hypnotherapy is not a magic cure, and it requires active participation from the client in order to be effective.
Hypnotherapy is dangerous:There is a fear that hypnotherapy can cause harm, such as inducing false memories or leading to psychological trauma. However, hypnotherapy is generally safe when practiced by a qualified and experienced therapist, and there is no evidence to support the idea that it can cause harm.
Integral therapy is a new age or spiritual practice:Some people may believe that integral therapy is a new age or spiritual practice, and not a legitimate form of psychotherapy. However, while integral theory does include spiritual and philosophical concepts, integral therapy is grounded in evidence-based psychotherapy principles.
Integral therapy is only for people with spiritual or philosophical beliefs:Some people may believe that integral therapy is only for individuals who hold specific spiritual or philosophical beliefs. However, integral therapy can be beneficial for people from all backgrounds and belief systems.
Integral therapy is too complex:Some people may believe that integral therapy is too complex and difficult to understand. However, while integral theory can be complex, integral therapy is designed to be accessible and easy to understand for clients.
Integral therapy is not evidence-based:Some people may believe that integral therapy is not based on scientific evidence. However, integral therapy is based on evidence-based psychotherapy practices, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness-based therapy.
Integral therapy is a one-size-fits-all approach:Some people may believe that integral therapy is a one-size-fits-all approach, and not tailored to the specific needs of individual clients. However, integral therapy is designed to be flexible and adaptable to the unique needs of each client.

What can I expect during my first session? During video call sessions, I will be in a room where you cannot be overheard or seen on my screen by anyone else. (For your own safety and privacy, I recommend you do the same.) I do not record the sessions.While video call platforms offer degrees of security and encryption, it is not possible to guarantee how the companies providing these services will handle data relating to the call. Also, with some platforms, it might mean both the call and your number is logged on my device. I do not store your name in my digital address book but, with a service such as WhatsApp, the operating system might recognise your number and link it to emails or texts we have exchanged. Counselling is confidential. This means I will not share information about you with a third party unless you consent to that disclosure. So, I will not tell anyone that you attend therapy, or what you say in our sessions, without your permission to do so. There are circumstances when I might have no choice but to share information about you, even if you do not agree to this happening. These are: if there is a serious concern for your or someone else’s safety, particularly if a child is at risk of serious harm;
if there is a legal obligation relating to your involvement in, or knowledge of, a serious crime;
if there is a court order requesting information about you;
if it is essential to prevent a serious and imminent threat to either public health or national security. Click
