What kinds of counselling do you offer?

It all begins with courage - courage to reach-out for the support you deserve. Maybe you’re seeking clarity, connection, or healing after trauma or a life transition. At Driftwood Therapeutics, I offer trauma-informed, humanistic counselling that blends professional training, lived experience, and compassion. Sessions are available online and focus on areas such as men’s mental health, addiction & recovery, narcissistic abuse, grief & loss, relationship challenges, and trauma recovery.

Do you offer online counselling?

Yes, it all begins with accessibility. Many people find it easier to connect from the comfort of their own space. I offer secure online counselling sessions via a confidential video platform - Janeapp. Online therapy provides flexibility and comfort without compromising the depth or quality of our work together.

How do I know if counselling is right for me?

It all begins with curiosity. Counselling can help when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about your next steps. Whether you’re facing anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, or emotional pain - therapy offers a safe space to explore your experiences and discover new ways to cope, grow, and thrive.

What happens in a counselling session?

It all begins with connection. During each session, we explore what’s most relevant to you - thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and patterns that may be affecting your wellbeing. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your needs, drawing on modalities such as Narrative Therapy, DBT, and Somatic practices to help you build awareness, regulation and self-compassion.

Is counselling confidential?

It all begins with trust. Everything you share in a session is kept confidential, within the ethical and legal limits of the counselling practice. This ensures that you have a safe and supportive environment to share openly without fear of judgment or exposure.

How often should I attend counselling?

It all begins with choice. Some clients attend weekly, while others prefer biweekly or monthly sessions. Together, we’ll find a schedule that fits your goals, pace, and comfort level. Consistency helps build momentum and supports deeper, lasting change.

Do you offer counselling for men?

Yes - it all begins with understanding. Men often face unique pressures and expectations that make seeking help difficult. My practice offers a safe, grounded space for men to talk openly about mental health, identity, relationships, and emotional wellbeing - without stigma or shame.

What is your counselling style?

It all begins with authenticity. My work is relational, empathetic, and grounded in a trauma-informed and humanistic philosophy. I believe in meeting clients where they are, using compassion, curiosity and methods to support real and sustainable growth.

How do I book a session?

It all begins with a simple step. You can book a discovery call or a counselling session directly through my website booking page, Janeapp or by contacting me via email.

What are your rates, and do you offer sliding scale options?

I strive to make counselling as approachable as possible. My rates reflect professional training and ethical standards, but I reserve a limited number of sliding-scale spots for clients on fixed incomes.

My services are also covered by many insurance providers.
