Do you offer sliding scale?
Yes. I offer a limited number of sliding scale spaces for clients who need a reduced fee. If cost is a barrier, you’re welcome to reach out and ask whether a sliding scale space may be available.
What is the supporter or pay-it-forward rate?
The supporter, or pay-it-forward, rate is an optional fee that helps support the availability of lower-fee spaces within my practice for clients who may otherwise face financial barriers to accessing counselling. It is set above my standard rate for clients who are in a position to pay a little more. Clients are always welcome to choose the standard rate or return to it at any time.
What is Depth Therapy?
Depth Therapy is an approach to psychotherapy that looks beneath the surface of your thoughts and behaviors to explore the deeper roots of emotional pain, patterns, and inner conflicts. By connecting with your unconscious mind and past experiences, it helps you understand yourself more fully, heal old wounds, and create meaningful, lasting change from the inside out.
What is Sandplay Therapy?
Sandplay Therapy is a Jungian-based approach developed by Dora Kalff. Within the free and protected space of the sandtray, clients are invited to create spontaneously using sand and miniature figures, without needing to know what the scene means or put the experience into words. The therapist witnesses the process rather than directing it, allowing images, patterns, and unconscious material to unfold in their own way. Over time, Sandplay can support deeper integration, self-understanding, and psychological movement.
What is Shadow Work?
In Jungian psychology, the shadow refers to parts of ourselves that may have been rejected, hidden, or pushed outside our conscious identity. Shadow work involves becoming curious about these parts rather than trying to eliminate them. Bringing them into awareness can deepen self-understanding and support greater integration and wholeness.
Do I need to know anything about Jungian psychology or depth therapy?
Not at all. You do not need any familiarity with Jung, dreamwork, symbolism, or depth psychology. We begin with your experience and use approaches that feel relevant and meaningful to you.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
You do not need to be in crisis or have a clear diagnosis to benefit from therapy. You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, caught in recurring patterns, moving through a transition, or simply wanting to understand yourself more deeply. A free consultation can give us a chance to talk about what is bringing you in and whether working together feels like a good fit.
How often should I come to therapy?
Session frequency depends on your needs, goals, availability, and finances. Many clients attend weekly or biweekly, while others benefit from a different schedule. We can talk together about what frequency feels both supportive and sustainable for you, and revisit it as your needs change.
Do I need an ADHD or autism diagnosis to explore neurodivergence in therapy?
No. You are welcome to explore questions about neurodivergence whether you have a formal diagnosis, are considering assessment, self-identify as neurodivergent, or are simply wondering whether these experiences might help you understand yourself differently.
