Frequently Asked Questions
When should I consider counselling?
You don’t need to be in crisis to begin counselling. Many people reach out when something feels off: disconnection from themselves or others, emotional overwhelm, repeated patterns they don’t fully understand, or a sense that life looks “fine” on the outside but doesn’t feel aligned on the inside. I see counselling as a place to slow down, listen more closely, and make sense of what’s emerging, whether you’re navigating a specific challenge or wanting deeper self-understanding.
Why might someone seek out Unda Counselling specifically?
People often come to Unda when they want more than symptom management. I work with individuals who are longing for deeper connection, meaningful emotional processing, and a more authentic way of living. This can include trauma processing, attachment and relational healing, learning to work with the nervous system, and reconnecting with parts of yourself that may have learned to adapt for survival. My work honours both gentleness and honesty, allowing space for depth while moving at a pace that feels sustainable.
How can online counselling be just as effective as in-person therapy?
Research consistently shows that online counselling can be just as effective as in-person therapy for many concerns. What matters most is the quality of the therapeutic relationship, not the physical space we’re in. I often find that online therapy allows clients to feel more at ease, as they’re joining from an environment that already feels familiar and regulating. With intention and presence, meaningful and embodied work can happen through the screen.
How do you approach online therapy?
I view online therapy as a legitimate, relational, and powerful container for healing. I work intentionally to create safety, connection, and emotional depth in the virtual space. Depending on what’s supportive, we may use grounding practices, somatic awareness, visual supports, or reflective pauses to help keep your body engaged alongside your thoughts. Online work also invites flexibility and creativity, allowing therapy to meet you where you are, both literally and emotionally.
How long does counselling usually last?
There’s no single timeline that fits everyone. Some people come for a short period to work through a specific concern, while others engage in counselling over months or years for deeper, ongoing work. I tend to work longer-term with clients, especially when focusing on trauma, attachment, or relational patterns, but the length of therapy is always collaborative. We check in regularly about what feels supportive, aligned, and sustainable for you.
How often do sessions happen?
I often recommend starting with weekly sessions, as they help build safety, momentum, and continuity in the work. Over time, some clients choose to space sessions out as things stabilize or integrate. We’ll decide together what frequency best supports you and your nervous system.
Do you offer sliding scale rates?
I hold a limited number of sliding scale spots to help make counselling more accessible. Availability changes over time. If cost is a barrier, you’re welcome to reach out directly and we can talk through options together.
When you work with my teenager how are we as parents involved?
Yes. When I work with teenagers, my priority is creating a space where they feel safe, respected, and genuinely heard. Confidentiality is discussed clearly at the outset so teens understand what is private and what must be shared for safety. Parental involvement is thoughtful and collaborative and may include occasional check-ins, shared goal-setting, or support around understanding emotional and relational needs. The balance between teen autonomy and parental involvement is something we navigate together, with the teen’s wellbeing always at the center.
What does a typical counselling session look or feel like?
Sessions at Unda aren’t rigid or formulaic. They tend to feel grounded, relational, and responsive to what you bring that day. We might talk, reflect, notice patterns, explore emotions, or gently tune into what’s happening in your body. Some sessions feel spacious and reflective, while others feel more focused or emotionally alive. You don’t need to prepare or know exactly what you want to talk about. We move at a pace that honours your nervous system, allowing insight and change to emerge naturally rather than being forced.
How do I know if I’m the right counsellor for you?
Fit matters. A strong therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in meaningful change. You might notice fit in how safe you feel, whether you feel understood, and whether there’s room to be honest, even when things feel messy or uncertain. I welcome conversations about fit and encourage you to trust your internal sense of what feels supportive. Counselling works best when you feel both held and gently challenged.
What if I’ve tried counselling before and it didn’t help?
This is more common than many people realize. A previous experience that didn’t feel helpful doesn’t mean counselling isn’t for you. It may mean the timing, approach, or relationship wasn’t the right fit. I take time to understand what hasn’t worked in the past and what you’re hoping for now. My approach isn’t about fixing you, but about creating the right conditions for understanding, connection, and meaningful change.
