FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about my services and how I can help your business thrive.

What is a Virtual Assistant and how can they help my business?

A Virtual Assistant (VA) is a remote professional who provides administrative, technical, or creative support. I help with inbox management, calendar scheduling, content creation, data organisation, and more—allowing you to focus on growing your business whilst I handle the time-consuming tasks.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) worksheets are practical tools designed to help manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. They are ideal for therapists, coaches, and individuals working on personal development, anxiety management, ADHD strategies, or general mental wellness.

Simply reach out through the contact form or send me an email. We will schedule a free consultation to discuss your needs, challenges, and goals. From there, I will recommend the best package or service combination for your situation.

Absolutely! As a virtual assistant, I work remotely with clients worldwide. Time zone differences are easily managed, and I am flexible with scheduling to accommodate international clients.

I work with professionals across various fields including psychologists, attorneys, consultants, coaches, estate agents, trainers, and small business owners. My background in administrative support and CBT resources makes me particularly well-suited for helping professionals in the mental health and coaching space.

I take confidentiality seriously. All client information is handled with strict privacy protocols, secure communication channels, and professional discretion. I am happy to sign NDAs when required and follow best practices for data protection.

Yes! Every business is unique, and I believe in tailored solutions. We can mix and match services from different packages or create a completely custom arrangement that fits your specific needs and budget.
