FAQ - Your questions answered

1. What can I expect in my first session?

One session is not always enough to have a sense of what it is like to work with me and be in the room together. Therfore, I tend to suggest we meet for 1-3 sessions, so we can have the opportunity to get to know each other a bit better. We’ll explore what brings you to therapy, discuss your goals, and begin creating a safe space where you can reflect openly. You can ask me some questions as well. It’s guided by your pace and needs — nothing is forced. 

2. I don’t know what to say and how to start.

Don’t worry. In the first 3 sessions I will ask a few questions to guide you on what I need to know.  You don’t need to get into too many details, we can do that during the time we will be working together. I know it’s strange to open up to someone you have just met. So, we will take it easy at your own pace.

3. How does therapy with you work?

I work relationally, blending attachment theory with a somatic-relational-trauma-informed approach. Together, we explore patterns, emotions, and experiences related to what brought you into therapy. Meaning that we would work with our relationship during the sessions. I would also direct your attention to develop and build your awareness of difficult feelings in a way for you to familiarise yourself with them. I may invite you to work with some of the creative materials in the room. The main thing about my work is that I like to say that you are the expert of your life, and I will be joining you in your journey for more mental clarity and a more fulfilling life .

4. How long are each session, and how often should I come?

Individual sessions typically last 50 minutes. I work on a weekly basis as this helps to create a sense of safety by promoting consistency, continuity and familiarity to the space. And also, it is enough time for you to also reflect and process what is explored during each session. We will also discuss the length of our work together, it could be open ended or time limited.

5. Can therapy help with burnout, stress, or work pressure?

Yes. Therapy can help people experiencing burnout, chronic stress, or emotional exhaustion — many of the people I work with are driven and capable, yet privately exhausted, overwhelmed, or questioning how long they can continue as things are. Sessions provide space to process stress, understand emotional and relational patterns, and develop healthier ways of managing work pressures while protecting your mental and emotional wellbeing. The focus is not on pushing through, but on finding more sustainable ways to work and live without losing yourself.healthier ways of managing work pressures while protecting your mental and emotional wellbeing.

6. I’m not in a high-pressure job — could I still be experiencing burnout?

Yes. Burnout isn’t limited to work titles or careers. In today’s fast-paced world, many people experience burnout simply from carrying too much for too long.

I also work with women from a wide range of backgrounds who feel emotionally and physically exhausted from juggling multiple demands — caring for others, managing family life, meeting expectations, and putting their own needs last. Over time, this constant giving can lead to feeling depleted, unseen, and disconnected from yourself.

Therapy offers space to pause, understand what’s been weighing on you, and begin finding ways to care for yourself without guilt or pressure.

7. What is your therapeutic approach?

My therapeutic approach integrates relational and attachment-based therapy, somatic awareness, and creative expression. This trauma-informed way of working supports individuals experiencing stress, burnout, anxiety, or relational difficulties.

I focus on creating a safe, empathic environment where you feel supported in exploring emotional challenges, personal patterns, and the impact of ongoing pressures — helping you develop greater clarity, resilience, and self-understanding.

8. Do I need to talk about trauma or my childhood?

Not necessarily. While we may explore past experiences if relevant, therapy is led by your needs. Many clients benefit from understanding patterns rooted in earlier life experiences, but the focus is always on what is useful for your present growth, clarity, and wellbeing.

Being trauma-informed means that we work respecting and acknowledging your traumatic experiences, and at times it means that talking about them may not be what you need, but rather explore how it impacts your life now.

9. Where are your sessions held?

I offer in-person sessions in Golders Green and Central London (near Oxford Street / Oxford Circus in the West End), as well as online sessions for flexibility and convenience.

10. Do you offer corporate workshops or talks?

Yes — I deliver workshops, talks, and training for organisations on burnout, emotional wellbeing, trauma-informed practices, and building psychologically safe workplaces. Sessions can be tailored for leadership teams, HR, or employees in high-pressure roles.

11. How do I book a session?
