Question 1

Do we need to be in crisis to start couples therapy?

Accepted Answer

Crisis is not a prerequisite to enter therapy - but couples often benefit most when there’s a genuine need or curiosity about the process. Having a reason to come, whether it’s to work through relational difficulties or to strengthen an already healthy relationship, can boost motivation and support meaningful engagement. This clarity helps make the most of our time together and increases the likelihood of reaching your goals.

Question 2

Can I come alone to relationship therapy if my partner doesn’t want to join?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can. Relationships are like ecosystems: when one person shifts, the whole dynamic often changes. By exploring your part in the relationship and making intentional changes, you can influence the connection in meaningful ways. Sometimes, this even encourages your partner to engage differently or join later. But even if they don’t, your growth still has value.

Question 3

How long does relationship therapy usually take?

Accepted Answer

It’s hard to give an exact number, as each individual and couple has their own pace and needs. What I can tell you is that my goal is for you to not need therapy for any longer than necessary. I work with the intention of helping you build the clarity, tools, and resilience to continue on your own. In other words, I’m always working toward making myself unnecessary - and that’s a good thing.

Question 4

Do you also work with individuals who are single or dating?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Navigating today’s dating world can be confusing and overwhelming. And I truly believe two minds are better than one. I find it especially meaningful to support clients in becoming more intentional in how they seek, choose, and nurture love. Whether you're feeling stuck, discouraged, or just want to grow in your approach to relationships, this work can be incredibly empowering.

Question 5

What if we've already tried therapy and it didn’t help?

Accepted Answer

That’s completely understandable and more common than you might think. Not every therapeutic experience fits every couple, and a past disappointment doesn’t mean therapy can’t work for you. Sometimes it’s about finding the right approach, the right timing, or the right therapist. I’m always curious to explore what felt unhelpful before so we can do things differently this time. There’s still room for meaningful change.

Question 6

Can therapy still help even if we've been together for a long time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it can. No matter how long you’ve been together, there’s always room to grow, reconnect, or work through challenges. Long-term relationships can accumulate unspoken patterns, unresolved hurts, or simply drift over time. Therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and intentionally nurture the connection you’ve built.

Question 7

Do you offer online sessions or only in person?

Accepted Answer

I primarily offer sessions online, as it allows for greater flexibility and comfort. If you prefer to meet in person, you're welcome to request it. Those sessions take place in my home office, where I’ve created a calm and private space for our work together.

Question 8

How often do we need to come to therapy, and can we adjust the frequency?

Accepted Answer

The frequency of sessions is flexible and depends on your needs and goals. Some clients benefit from weekly sessions, while others prefer to meet bi-weekly or occasionally. We can always adjust the rhythm as we go, depending on what feels most supportive for you and where you are in the process.

Question 9

Do you offer any sliding scale or reduced-fee options?

Accepted Answer

At this time, I don’t offer sliding scale options, as my current rates are already set below the average to remain as accessible as possible.

Question 10

How do I pay for sessions?

Accepted Answer

I don’t accept cash payments. All sessions are paid via iDEAL or bank transfer. Payment details will be provided when booking, and I kindly ask that payment is completed before each session.

Question 11

Do you offer free consultations before starting therapy?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You’re welcome to book a free 15-minute call to see if we’re a good fit and ask any questions you may have. You can schedule the call here.

Question 12

Are sessions covered by health insurance?

Accepted Answer

I don’t work with insurance providers, so sessions are paid privately. While this means they aren’t reimbursed, it also allows for greater privacy, flexibility, and freedom in how we work together, without the need for diagnoses or limitations set by insurers.

Question 13

Can I reach out between sessions if something comes up?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you’re welcome to reach out via WhatsApp message between sessions. While I can’t guarantee an immediate response, I will do my best to get back to you as soon as I can. I want you to feel supported, especially during moments when extra care is needed between our meetings.

Question 14

Do you give homework or practices to do between sessions?

Accepted Answer

Certainly. What we discuss and explore during sessions is important, but what you do afterward often makes an even bigger difference. Don’t worry though, homework is given only when it feels meaningful for your growth. It might be a small task, a journaling prompt, or a simple practice to support the changes you’re working toward.

Question 15

How do I know if you're the right therapist for me or us?

Accepted Answer

That’s exactly what the first session is for. After our meeting, if you feel understood, comfortable, and find it easy to open up, that’s usually a good sign we’re a good fit. Trusting your feelings after that first conversation is a great way to know if this is the right space for you.

Question 16

What is the policy for missed sessions or being late?

Accepted Answer

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please inform me at least 24 hours in advance -there’s no charge in that case. If you miss a session without prior notice, you will be asked to cover both the missed session and the next one at your following appointment. If you arrive late, we will still end at the originally scheduled time, and the full session fee will apply.
