Frequently Asked Questions

To book an appointment with me you can visit the ‘Contact,’ page on this website. You could either email or message me via SMS or WhatsApp. It would be helpful to mention your name, gender, pronouns, and age in the message, and that you’re looking to book an appointment with me.

After I hear from you, I will schedule an initial call with you. This call would be for about 20-30 minutes, without any charge. We would discuss your reasons for approaching therapy and I would be happy to clarify any doubts or even fears you might have about the therapeutic process. This would be a great opportunity to assess whether we would be a good fit for therapeutic work. You could see if you feel comfortable talking with me, a “vibe check,” of sorts.

We would discuss your expectations from therapy, some goals you might have in mind, and what I could offer to you as your therapist, and explore how we can work towards your initial therapeutic goals. I would also like to discuss our ‘working agreement’ (look below for further information) and other administrative details such as confidentiality, boundaries, cancellation, and payment.

The working agreement is a document that I would share with you after our initial call. It is a mutual agreement, which is signed by both the client and the therapist. It consists of certain parameters and characteristics of our therapeutic work, which allows you to make an informed decision about beginning work with me. This in turn helps us feel safe, with our rights protected allowing for a comfortable space! This is the only document we both need to sign before we begin therapeutic work.
