Frequently Asked Questions
I understand that you may have some questions that you might like answered before you contact me to have a counselling or psychotherapy session. So here is a selection of questions that you may have.
How much does it cost for therapy?
The cost of therapy for one individual is €60 for one hour. If you wanted to attend a group therapy session, then it would be €20 per person for one hour.
How long does a session last?
Each session lasts for 1 hour.
How often should I be attending therapy sessions?
Initially, I would recommend weekly. But depending on your individual circumstances you might be fine with once every 2 weeks. As you get better, you may wish to attend therapy once a month to maintain good mental health. All of this will be discussed as part of your treatment.
Should I have face to face or online therapy?
This decision is entirely up to you. The experience of either is still beneficial but some people prefer online and some people prefer in person. There is no way better than the other. The factors that might influence your decision are distance. Are you within driving distance that suits you? Do you have a car?
I worry that if I cry, that I might not stop?
This is a worry that people do have but I can assure you, that I will be there with you in the process of getting in touch with your feelings and you will be able to stop. Once you release tears with support and not being on your own with the emotions, you will feel a huge sense of release and feel much better afterwards. There is no pressure to cry or not to cry. If it is going to happen it will happen naturally in the session and I will be there with you.

What if I need to cancel my session?

I worry that I might not know what to say?
You don’t have to attend therapy with anything rehearsed in your head. It is common that some people don’t know where to start and don’t know what to talk about at the beginning. I will be there to support you and help you get started.
How many sessions would I need?
Everyone is different. Some people need to just talk through a particular life transition and may need 6 sessions. Some people may need regular sessions for considerable amount of time like 6 months or 1 year or 2 years, to help process more complex issues. This would be discussed in your therapy sessions. If someone is in early recovery from addiction, it would be good to have counselling for at least 2 years to maintain recovery.
