Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about therapy in Colchester answered by BACP registered psychotherapist Andreea Horhocea
How much does therapy cost in Colchester?
Individual therapy sessions are £60 for 50 minutes. I also offer a free 15-minute consultation call to discuss your needs and see if we're a good fit to work together.
Do you offer online therapy sessions?
Yes, I offer both in-person sessions in Colchester and online therapy sessions via secure video calls. Online therapy can be just as effective as face-to-face sessions.
What should I expect in my first therapy session?
Your first session will focus on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. We'll discuss your goals, background, and I'll explain how I work. It's completely confidential and there's no pressure.
How long does therapy take to work?
This varies for everyone. Some people notice changes after a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term work. We'll regularly review your progress and goals together.
What is psychodynamic therapy?
Psychodynamic therapy explores how your past experiences and unconscious thoughts influence your current relationships and life patterns. It helps you gain insight and make lasting changes.
Are you qualified and registered?
Yes, I'm BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) registered with a Master's degree in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I have 6+ years experience working with children, adults and families.
What issues do you help with?
I work with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues, eating disorders, body image concerns, trauma, and life transitions. Both children and adults are welcome.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes, everything we discuss is strictly confidential. The only exceptions are if there's a risk of serious harm to yourself or others, which I would discuss with you first.

You can book through the contact form on my website, call me directly, or email. I respond within 24 hours and offer a free consultation call to answer any questions.
