Your Questions, Answered
-
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from counselling. Many people seek support when they feel anxious, overwhelmed, low in mood, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. If something is impacting your wellbeing or daily life, counselling can help.
-
Yes. I have a particular interest in supporting neurodiverse clients, especially women with ADHD. Therapy can help with overwhelm, emotional regulation, rejection sensitivity, masking, burnout, and self-understanding.
-
The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and explore what has brought you to counselling. We will talk about what you are hoping for from therapy and any questions you may have.
As part of this initial session, I also ask clients to complete a brief outcome measure called the CORE-10. This is a simple questionnaire that helps us understand how you are feeling right now and provides a way of tracking change over time if you continue in therapy. It is not a test, and there are no right or wrong answers.
You do not need to prepare anything in advance, and we will go at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
-
Please get in touch for current fees. I offer a free initial consultation so you can ask questions and decide whether you would like to begin therapy.
-
Yes. I offer a free initial consultation to help you decide whether counselling feels right for you and to answer any questions you may have.
-
This varies from person to person. Some people attend for short-term support, while others prefer longer-term therapy. We will regularly review your progress together.
-
Yes. Everything you share is confidential. The only exceptions relate to serious risk of harm or safeguarding concerns, which will be explained clearly at the start of therapy.
-
This is very common. It’s normal to feel unsure or anxious before starting counselling. We will go at your pace, and you do not need to share anything before you feel ready.
-
Yes. You are free to end counselling at any point. Ideally, we would have a closing session to reflect on your progress, but this is always your choice.
-
No. You do not need a diagnosis to access counselling. Many people come to therapy before, during, or without ever receiving a formal diagnosis. We focus on your lived experience and what support you need right now.

Genevieve offers integrative, trauma-informed counselling with a particular interest in neurodiversity, ADHD, and supporting clients through anxiety, overwhelm, and life transitions. As a therapist with a personal faith, she can also incorporate faith into sessions if this is important to you, but therapy is always shaped around your individual needs and preferences.
