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 to promote holistic well-being. It is also a space for those wondering, “Do I need therapy?” and wanting clarity before taking the first step.
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.
My practice is integrative. I draw from:
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
  • Mindfulness-based approaches
  • Gottman Method (Level 1) for relationships
  • Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
  • Nutritional psychology and lifestyle strategies
This flexible approach allows therapy to address the mind, body, and emotions together, while adapting to what feels most supportive for you.
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 well-being. This approach often helps clarify what happens in therapy, especially for those new to counselling or uncertain about the process.
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.
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. If this is your first time in therapy, sessions are paced carefully so you can understand what happens in therapy without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Every session is tailored to what you need most that day.
Sessions typically last 60 minutes. Longer sessions can be arranged if needed, for example, couples or deeper exploratory work.
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, especially if this is your first experience of therapy.
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.
Yes. Counselling is available both in person and online. Many clients appreciate the flexibility of online sessions, particularly during their first therapy experience or when balancing busy schedules.
If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply curious about your inner world, counselling can help. Many people begin therapy while still asking, “Do I need therapy?” A complimentary 30-minute discovery call is available, allowing you to experience the space and understand what happens in therapy before deciding if it feels like the right fit.
