FAQ
1. What is the difference between you and AI tools like Google Translate or AI interpreters? AI can handle basic translation, but it often misses emotional nuance, cultural context, tone, and creative subtlety. I offer human warmth, deep listening, cultural sensitivity, and real empathy — especially important in therapy, coaching, artistic discussions, and vulnerable conversations. I don’t just translate words — I help your energy and meaning travel intact.
3. Do you work with therapy and coaching sessions? Yes. I specialize in supporting psychologists, coaches, and therapists with international clients. I provide sensitive, confidential, and culturally aware interpretation for psychological, emotional, and experiential content. Confidentiality and emotional safety are my top priorities.
4. What types of services do you offer? I offer four main services:
Therapy & Coaching Interpretation Packages
Live Interpretation for meetings, workshops, and rehearsals
Creative Language Coaching (for confident self-expression)
Monthly Language Partnership (ongoing support)
5. How does a session work technically? Most sessions are held via Zoom. I can work in consecutive interpretation (you speak, I interpret) or whispered interpretation (for smaller groups or 1:1). The setup is simple and I will guide you through it so the flow feels as natural as possible.
6. Are the sessions confidential? Absolutely. I treat all sessions with full professional confidentiality. This is especially important when working with therapy, coaching, or personal creative projects.
7. I’m neurodivergent / have a non-linear, chaotic creative style. Will you be able to follow me? Yes — very much so. I’m also neurodivergent (ADHD) and a working artist. I’m very comfortable with surreal, non-linear, emotional, or highly expressive ways of thinking and speaking. Many of my clients say this makes our collaboration feel more intuitive and freeing.
8. How far in advance do I need to book? For regular sessions I recommend booking at least 48–72 hours in advance. For bigger workshops or important events, the earlier the better. Last-minute requests can sometimes be accommodated depending on my schedule.
9. What if I’m not sure which service I need? No problem at all. Just book a free 15–20 minute discovery call and we’ll explore your project together so I can recommend the best way to support you.
10. Do you offer packages or monthly support? Yes. Many clients prefer packages for therapy/coaching sessions or a monthly retainer when they have ongoing international work. This usually offers better flow and more attractive rates.
Are you human? And yes… I’m also fully human 😊 That means I sometimes need a coffee break, I might ask you to repeat a brilliant but complicated sentence, and I’ll occasionally make small human mistakes. But it also means I bring real presence, genuine care, and the kind of warm understanding that only another human can offer.
With me you get culturally sensitive interpreting that preserves tone, emotion, and subtle meaning — along with the flexibility and human warmth that artistic, therapeutic, or deeply personal work truly needs.
I help remove barriers so your authentic voice and creative energy can connect and be fully received — with empathy, presence, and real human understanding.
