FAQ
How long are sessions?
All initial sessions are 90 minutes long. The purpose of the extended initial session is to allow Zoë to gain a detailed understanding of your relationship, to collaboratively develop a therapeutic trajectory in terms of the themes and topics we would work on together over time and the regularity of sessions. It also allows time for Zoë to offer immediate feedback and some exercises and tools that you can begin implementing immediately.
From there, all sessions are 50 minutes long
How could couples therapy benefit you?
One of the biggest misconceptions about couples therapy is that seeking help means you are failing in your relationship, yet when an individual carries out professional development for their carer, we don’t question it. To get a job, we carry out preliminary training, an apprenticeship, a course or a university degree and we are applauded for the accomplishment. Yet when it comes to being in relationship or raising children, we’re expected to just know how to do it. So reaching out for support from a competent couples therapist could in fact, be one of the wisest choices you ever make for your relationship and instead of being associated with failure or pathologising, it may instead be a sign of responsibility, expansion and positive growth – something we should feel proud of accessing.
Sex therapy... Tell me more
As human beings, particularly within western culture, we are both deeply drawn to the world of sexual intimacy and often equally threatened by it.
From the very initial session, my goal is to bring lightness and comfortability to a topic that is inherently uncomfortable and wrapped in stigma and social misconceptions. A topic that when explored in the light, can be profoundly empowering and lead to deep connection, pleasure and fulfillment.
