Frequently Asked Questions

There’s no fixed duration for therapy - it really depends on what you want to get out of the sessions. Some people use therapy as a short-term support to navigate a specific situation over a couple of months. But usually therapy is an ongoing process, allowing you to explore deeper patterns in your life and work toward longer-term growth and well-being. If you do want to work to a fixed term, I can offer structured therapy which is better suited to this.

Therapy depends on regular contact, and especially at the beginning weekly sessions are best to build a relationship and gain some momentum. However I am open to working weekly or fortnightly if that suits you better.

Clinical supervision for therapists is usually every 2-4 weeks depending on your needs.

Not at all - I’m open to working with anyone interested in my style of working, regardless of whether you are a Buddhist.

The philosophy that I draw on can also be seen as universal wisdom that appears in stoic philosophies and many types of western psychology, as well as within Buddhist thought.

There is no need or expectation that we have to label our work together as specifically Buddhist.

Absolutely not. One of the challenges with how the Buddhist precepts are sometimes understood is that they can make people feel that they’re failing if they don’t follow them perfectly or if they choose not to engage with them at all.

However you feel about drinking alcohol, taking recreational drugs or eating meat, it’s completely okay.

If at some point you feel that your relationship with any of these things is having a negative impact on your well-being, then we can explore that together - but without any blame or shame.

The benefits of therapy don’t depend on meditation - so no, this isn’t a requirement of our work together at all. Meditation can be very supportive, but if you don’t connect with it, that is totally fine.

If at some point you are curious about trying meditation, we can explore that together and I would be very happy to support you in building a practice. But there is never any pressure, expectation or judgement. This is your journey, make it work for you.
