Your life matters

How do I know when to speak to a therapist?

We all go through ups and downs in life. It’s normal to feel downright awful one day but gain a new perspective that makes you feel better a week later. But if your feelings are becoming overwhelming, or you’re having trouble functioning in your daily life, it might be time to speak to someone about it.

‍Signs it’s time to see a therapist include:

  • ‍You just don’t feel like yourself

  • Your relationships are suffering

  • Your emotions feel out of control

  • You’re altering aspects of your life to accommodate your feelings

  • You’re spending a lot of time thinking about your emotions and challenges

How long does counselling last?

Counselling sessions for individuals will last 50 minutes, and couples are 90 minuits.

Sessions are usually held on a weekly basis, but I also we an also work two weekly, monthly.

The amount of sessions you have is down to you. I offer long and short term counselling, so the amount of time that you work with me is your choice.
