Frequently Asked Questions

Why online therapy?

A growing body of research shows that online therapy is safe and effective for many people. Online therapy ensures that we can decrease our exposure to COVID while ensuring that you can continue accessing support. An additional benefit of online therapy is being able to connect with therapists who wouldn’t otherwise be accessable due to geographic location. Some people also feel safer being able to have therapy in their own environment with their comforts. 

Zoom or phone sessions 

You can choose to have sessions via Zoom, which includes video and audio. This approach has the benefit of using an online whiteboard which can be helpful if we want to visually map out the things we are exploring in therapy or use visual psychoeducation tools. 

We can also have sessions via phone which allows you to sit wherever you feel the most comfortable, rather than at your computer. Some people find they feel more tired on video calls and prefer to just use audio. 

How long are therapy appointments?

The usual length of therapy sessions is 60-minutes plus an additional 10 minutes for reflection and record keeping. If you prefer a longer session, I also offer 90-minute sessions. 

What are your rates for therapy and advocacy services?

I offer a sliding scale for therapy rates as I recognise that not all people have equal access to resources and services due to a complex interplay of factors. The sliding scale ensures that therapy can be accessed at multiple price points depending on your financial position. You can use the infographic below to reflect on which category best describes your circumstances.
