FAQ about attachment based therapy in Cambridge

1. What types of therapy do you offer?

I offer a range of therapy services tailored to the unique needs of children, teenagers, adults, and parents. My work is grounded in attachment-based therapy, which focuses on how early emotional bonds shape our relationships and emotional patterns today. I provide one-on-one sessions for individuals struggling with anxiety, behavioural issues, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and parenting stress. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or a loved one, I offer a warm, reflective, and relational space to help make sense of what’s going on and move toward healing. Please my approach page for me detail and insights.

2. How do I know if therapy is right for me or my child?

Therapy can be incredibly helpful if you or your child are experiencing emotional distress, behavioural challenges, or relational difficulties. Some signs include ongoing anxiety, withdrawal, mood swings, sleep issues, or feeling overwhelmed. If your child is struggling at school or showing changes in behaviour, therapy may offer valuable support. As a therapist based in Cambridge, I provide an initial consultation to understand your situation and explore whether therapy is a good fit. No issue is too small — if you're concerned, it’s worth having a conversation.

3. What is attachment-based therapy and how can it help?

Attachment-based therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on the quality of our early attachments — particularly with parents or caregivers — and how they impact our emotional wellbeing and relationships as we grow. It helps individuals identify unhelpful patterns rooted in early experiences and work toward more secure ways of relating. This approach is especially effective for issues like trust, abandonment fears, relationship conflict, and emotional regulation. As a Cambridge therapist specialising in this model, I use it to support clients in developing stronger self-awareness, resilience, and more fulfilling connections. I have written blogs in order to give you more insight - see this link as a starting point.

4. Do you offer therapy for teenagers?

Yes — I work extensively with teenagers and adolescents who may be dealing with anxiety, low mood, family conflict, peer pressure, or emotional overwhelm. Teen therapy creates a safe space for young people to express themselves, build coping skills, and better understand their emotions and relationships. I use an attachment-based approach alongside developmentally appropriate tools, always ensuring that the teen feels seen, heard, and supported. Whether the goal is to reduce emotional outbursts or improve communication at home, therapy can be an empowering experience for teens navigating life’s challenges.

5. What can I expect in the first therapy session?

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other in a low-pressure environment. I’ll ask about your current situation, emotional wellbeing, history, and goals for therapy. It’s also a space for you to ask any questions about how therapy works or share concerns you may have. I’ll explain my approach and how sessions are structured, and together we can decide if we’re a good fit to work together. You’re not committing to long-term therapy right away — the first session is simply a starting point for exploring support.

6. How long are sessions and how frequently do they take place?

Therapy sessions typically last 50 minutes and are held on a weekly basis, though I can offer flexibility depending on your needs and availability. Weekly sessions offer consistency and momentum, which are especially valuable in building trust and making progress. For some clients, fortnightly or ad-hoc sessions may also be appropriate after initial work. During our first few meetings, we’ll discuss a rhythm that works best for you or your child. Regular sessions are held either in person in Cambridge or via secure online video.

7. Do you offer online therapy?

Yes, I offer online therapy for clients who prefer remote support or are based outside of Cambridge. Sessions take place via a secure and confidential video platform. Online therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions and offers the flexibility to access support from your own home. This is particularly helpful for parents managing busy schedules or teenagers who feel more comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether face-to-face or online, the quality of the therapeutic relationship remains central to the work.

8. What are your fees for therapy?

My fees vary based on the type of session and client group (child, teen, adult, parent, or supervision). I aim to be transparent and accessible, and I’m happy to discuss rates with you directly before booking. Fees are typically paid in advance or at the time of session. Please visit the booking online page for a current fee schedule. If cost is a concern, feel free to reach out — I occasionally offer lower-cost spaces depending on availability.

9. Is therapy confidential?

Yes — confidentiality is a fundamental part of therapy. What you share with me will be kept private, in line with the ethical standards set by professional bodies such as BACP, UKCP, and HCPC. There are a few legal exceptions (such as immediate safety concerns or disclosure of serious harm), and I will always explain this at the start. Confidentiality creates the trust necessary for meaningful therapy to take place, and I take this responsibility very seriously.

10. How do I get started with therapy?

Getting started is simple. You can contact me directly through the Contact page to request an initial consultation. I typically respond within 24 hours. In our first conversation, we’ll talk about your reasons for seeking therapy and what you hope to gain. There’s no pressure — it’s just an opportunity to connect and see if therapy with me is the right step for you. Whether you're a parent, a teenager, or an adult looking for support, I'm here to help you begin your journey.
