FAQs

How long is the session?

The initial session is typically one hour, providing ample time for you to discuss what brings you to therapy. Regular lessons last 50 minutes each.

 

How many sessions do I need?

Typically, 12 to 24 sessions are recommended, but this varies based on your specific needs and goals. Regular weekly attendance at first, progressing to a less frequent “check-in” model, helps foster gradual, lasting changes.

 

How will I help you?

You are the expert in your own life. I have certain skills as CBT Therapist and an Alexander Technique Teacher that could help you with emotional, behavioural, and cognitive challenges you migh be facing. Through this integrative therapy approach we can explore a mind-body balance, empowering you to take control of your well-being.

 

Do I need to learn any exercises?

It depends on what works best for you. Some of the main exercises are based on reflective diaries that can help you move from doubts and concerns to reflecting about potential alternatives to unhealthy ways of thinking.

Also, in between sessions, you might be interested in lying down in a semi-supine position and give yourself time to return to a place of quietness, where you can observe but not interfere or change whatever happens in the moment.

 

Could I contact you for CBT sessions or Alexander Technique sessions rather then to have them mixed?

 Yes you can. If your interest is having only formal CBT sessions or only Alexander session, that is a possibility. I would be happy to help you.
 
 
Is Alexander Technique a somatic/holistic method?

Alexander Technique works on your entire self. It is a holistic approach that sees the whole of ourselves rather than a specific part of our bodies that needs to be treated. The work explores our habitual reactions to stimulus using body/mind as a whole. In a session we experience letting go of old habits that often puts us wrong.

 

Is there any cancellation policy?

I would need 24 hours’ notice if you decide to cancel your session. If you cancel at less than 24 hours’ notice, I will need to charge you for the session.

 

Where can I see you?

We could have an in-person session in North West London – St. John´s Wood area. Please see contact details. If you find it more convenient, we can also have online sessions. We can talk about what works best for you after the first few sessions.

You can find more information about the session in “About the session”.
