Questions you might have
Please reach us at HealthyStemsTherapy@outlook.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Online therapy sessions take place via Zoom, allowing you to attend from a space that feels comfortable and safe for you. Many people find that working online fits more easily into their lives, reducing the time, travel, and costs often involved in getting to in-person sessions.
Research shows that telehealth can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy, and many of my clients prefer the ease and flexibility it offers. My Zoom room link remains the same for every session, so logging in and getting started is simple and familiar.
The first few sessions are focused on building the therapeutic relationship. This is a time for us to get to know each other and for you to sense whether this feels like a good fit. Many people notice feelings of relief, ease, or being less judged as this relationship begins to form.
There’s no expectation to share everything straight away or to know exactly what you want to work on. We move at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you.
There is also no set timeline for therapy. Some people come for a shorter period around a specific concern, while others choose longer-term support to work more deeply with patterns and relationships. We can check in together over time about what feels right for you.
You’re welcome to reach out via the contact form, email, or phone to ask questions or arrange a first session. Getting in touch doesn’t have to be a big decision, it can simply be a conversation to see whether this feels like the right fit for you.
We’ll talk through what you’re hoping for from therapy, along with practical details such as days and times that suit you. If it feels right, we can tentatively book a session. I’ll then email you the information you need to get started, and we’ll stay in touch until everything is in place.
The day before your appointment, you’ll receive an SMS to confirm your session. Once confirmed, an invoice is sent. After payment, you can simply log into Zoom at your scheduled time, and we’ll begin.
