Frequently Asked Questions

keyboard_arrow_down

Sessions take place online via Zoom. I will send you a secure Zoom link prior to our scheduled session. Each therapy session is 50 minutes.

What are the different types of therapy?
keyboard_arrow_down

I approach individual therapy by accessing a variety of therapeutic methods that have a scientific track record of success with people who have complex problems. Elements of following types of therapy may be used as I work with you to meet your goals and improve your quality of life. If an individual prefers a specific type of therapy, it may become a key part of our therapeutic plan.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based treatment that helps people with a variety of mental health problems. It is based on the premise that psychological issues result from a correlation of thoughts, beliefs, emotions, actions and life situations. CBT involves (a) learning to identify patterns of emotions, thinking and actions; (b) adjust behaviours with new coping strategies, engage in flexible thinking, and; (c) reach key goals and improve well-being and fulfilment.

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment that helps people who experience a variety of complex emotional problems. DBT is an effective treatment that assists people to more effectively manage their emotions and interpersonal relationships. DBT teaches mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness and distress tolerance skills.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based treatment that teaches individuals to limit their avoidance and denial of complicated emotions. Through acceptance, practitioners learn to observe their emotions as appropriate responses to particular situations; and accept life's challenges. With this knowledge, individuals may commit to making important behavioural changes.

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is an evidence-based form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) that helps individuals challenge their unhelpful thoughts and beliefs around past traumatic events. It is not necessary to share your trauma account to successfully be treated with PTSD.

Motivational Interviewing is a compassionate, goal-oriented approach that encourages positive behavioural changes. This collaborative style helps individuals explore their own motivations for change and supports them in strengthening your commitment to achieving personal goals.

Mindfulness involves tuning into the present moment with intention and without judgment. Whether through formal meditation or simply bringing awareness to daily activities, mindfulness helps cultivate self-acceptance and reduce stress. Integrating mindfulness into therapy can promote a greater sense of ease and freedom in everyday life.

Yoga Therapy combines the physical and mental benefits of yoga with therapeutic principles. Through postures, meditation, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques, yoga therapy helps balance both body and mind, calm the nervous system, and foster a deeper connection to the present moment.

What is a 'trauma-informed' psychology practice?
keyboard_arrow_down

As a trauma-informed psychologist, I bring deep expertise in understanding the nature of traumatic events and their profound impact on mental health and overall well-being. Trauma affects not only individuals but also minority groups and entire communities, and I am attuned to the far-reaching consequences that it can have on people’s lives. My priority in working with trauma survivors is to create a safe, supportive environment where re-traumatisation is actively prevented. I approach individuals with compassion and validation, acknowledging the significance of their experiences. Together, we explore the effects of trauma and how it may manifest in your daily life, while providing psycho-education to help you understand the emotional, psychological and physical responses that often accompany traumatic experiences. Through this trauma-informed approach, I aim to empower survivors, fostering healing and resilience as we work together toward healing and growth.

What type of therapy is best for me?
keyboard_arrow_down

During our initial consultation, and the course of our therapy, we will work together to ensure that your goals are being met and that the sessions are beneficial. This may include using a variety of therapeutic interventions that will be used when appropriate.

How long will I be in therapy?
keyboard_arrow_down

Many people report that speaking to a non-judgemental and supportive psychologist even once improves their well-being. Effective therapy may take anywhere from 5-12 sessions, and even longer depending on the individual and their reasons for seeking therapy.

What happens during the first session?
keyboard_arrow_down

The first session allows us to get to know each other. I will ask you about your past, why you are seeking support, what has been working, what has not been working, etc. We will discuss your goals and what you are hoping to gain out of therapy. I work with people to provide a trusting, empathetic and nonjudgemental environment to explore and make changes; to improve individuals' lives in ways that they may not have believed was possible.

What are the costs for working with you? What is your cancellation fee?
keyboard_arrow_down

The fee for one 50 minute remote session is €110. I offer a sliding-scale fee option for individuals residing in countries outside of Western Europe, students and clients experiencing financial hardship. This option can be discussed during our consultation. In addition to our 50-minute therapy sessions, I provide a detailed follow-up email after each session. This includes personalized homework, psychoeducation, journal prompts, and other practical tools to support your healing journey. These resources help reinforce what we discuss in therapy and provide you with ongoing guidance between sessions.
