Popular questions

Want to know more? Take a look at some of the most common questions people ask about therapy.

Yes. Everything you discuss in therapy is confidential. There are certain legal exceptions to this, which we will explain when you take up therapy with us. We create a space where you can discuss anything on your mind in a private, confidential setting without being judged.

Absolutely not. We do not judge behaviour or personal life experiences, and we respect each client for their individual choices. We do not discriminate on any grounds, including age, race, gender, sexuality, religion, criminal background, health status, disability or ethnicity.

People from all walks of life and backgrounds, and of any age, can benefit from therapy. According to the BACP, more than two thirds of people in the UK have experienced a mental health issue in the last five years. Depending on the issue, therapy is very often a transformative solution.

Whether you know exactly what’s bothering you, or whether you’re not sure what’s wrong or where to start, time spent with a therapist is an important investment in your wellbeing. Therapy is non-judgemental and confidential, so you’re free to talk about anything on your mind.

At your first appointment, your therapist will ask you a few questions about what’s been happening in your life and what’s brought you to therapy.  You’ll also have an opportunity to ask any questions you have about counselling or psychotherapy. 

You and your therapist will then discuss next steps, and you’ll be able to decide whether you want to continue with further appointments.

Sometimes, our therapist profiles will be enough to draw you towards a specific therapist. If that’s the case, just click to book with that therapist and go from there. If you’re not sure which counsellor to choose, or if you’d like some advice, try our Therapist Matching Service.

Our Therapist Matching Service involves a free 20-minute telephone consultation. We’ll ask you a few questions, and then talk you through our recommendations.

Whatever happens, if you feel at your first appointment that your therapist isn’t quite right for you, just let us know. Switching therapists is easy.

Therapy is an important investment in your mental health. We believe that getting help when you need it is a strength and not a weakness. Therapy can make you feel better, and also help you relate better to the people in your life who matter. So, we would say it’s not self-indulgent! Looking after your mental health can only be a good thing.
