How therapy works.
A compassionate team of experienced therapists, here to help you grow and heal.
Your first session
Your first session is a space to talk about what’s brought you to therapy and what you’d like support with. There’s no need to prepare anything — we’ll explore your goals together and agree the best approach for moving forward.
Session format
Therapy can take place in person or online, and many people choose a mix of both. Sessions usually last 50 minutes, and most clients attend weekly or fortnightly depending on what feels right for them.
Confidentiality
Everything you share is treated with respect and confidentiality.Your therapist will explain the few situations where they must share information to keep you or others safe.
Accessibility & adjustments
If you need any adjustments - sensory, communication, mobility or other support - just let us know. We’ll work with you to make sessions comfortable, accessible, and right for your needs.
