Frequently Asked Questions

1. What exactly is Listening Room?

The Listening Room is a safe, non-judgmental counselling space created to support young adults, women and anyone navigating stress, identity challenges, anxiety or life transitions. It combines evidence-based therapies with lifestyle and mind–body practices for holistic wellbeing.

2. Who do you work with?

I work with youth, young adults, and women—particularly mothers—who may be experiencing academic stress, anxiety, perfectionism, low mood or relationship challenges. Each session is tailored to meet your unique needs and life context.

3. What approaches do you use in counselling?

My practice is integrative. I draw from:

This flexible approach allows therapy to address the mind, body and emotions together.

4. How is this different from traditional counselling?

While traditional counselling tends to focus mainly on thoughts and emotions, the Listening Room takes a broader view. Here, healing extends beyond the mind to encompass the body, relationships, and lifestyle factors such as sleep, nutrition, and emotional resilience that profoundly shape our well-being. This integrative, whole-person approach supports deeper, more sustainable change.

5. Do I need to have a specific issue to start counselling?

Not at all. Many clients come because they want to build resilience, gain clarity, or simply have a supportive space to process life changes. Counselling can be both a response to difficulties and a proactive step toward growth.

6. What happens in a typical session?

Sessions are conversational and collaborative. We may explore your current concerns, identify strengths, and work with specific techniques (such as reframing thoughts, relaxation strategies, or values-based exercises). Every session is tailored to what you need most that day.

7. How long are the sessions?

Sessions typically last 60 minutes. Longer sessions can be arranged if needed (for example, couples or deep-dive sessions).

8. How many sessions will I need?

This depends on your goals. Some people benefit from a few focused sessions, while others prefer ongoing support. We will discuss your needs together and revisit them as you progress.

9. Is everything I share confidential?

Yes. Confidentiality is central to counselling. What you share will not be disclosed without your consent, except in situations where there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, in line with ethical guidelines.
