Sometimes, after years of life being OK, things can just start to unravel, and you find yourself having to find a new way to think, or even a new way to be. At times like this, we start to question what really matters in our life, and we can be uncertain about the best way to move forward. Drawing on my PhD research into sense of self and adult change, I help clients to consider that they just might be entering a whole new stage of adult growth, where their old priorities may need to change, to make way for new, fresh ideas to flow, on who we believe we are, and what is possible for our life.

Hi, I’m Julie. Are you feeling stuck, misunderstood, and anxious? Do you find yourself struggling to get to sleep, replaying conversations over and over? Maybe you feel like you can’t truly be yourself, afraid of being rejected or judged. Life might feel like it’s on repeat — doing everything that’s expected, but inside, something feels off. You’re tired of keeping quiet just to fit in, but you’re unsure of what truly makes you happy. Many people feel disconnected from themselves, unsure of what they want or what excites them. You might feel lost, anxious, or flat about your life, even though everything seems "fine" on the surface.

If you’re living with complex conditions like POTS, Long COVID, MCAS, EDS, CFS, or Autoimmune disorders, your nervous system is likely in a constant state of high alert. When a body is stuck in a cycle of flares, exhaustion, and medical gaslighting, "just talking about it" often isn't enough. You can’t talk your way out of a physiological nervous system response. My practice is designed for those who have hit a wall with traditional talk therapy and are seeking a body-based, neuroaffirming approach to find stability again.

​I’m Jemima, a registered counsellor in Caringbah, Sutherland Shire.

I work through a client-focused approach, adapting different evidence-based techniques to fit the needs of each unique client. I use a variety of approaches, such as Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness-based therapies, to support clients from different angles. My intention with each client is to help them identify the "what," "why," and "how" to allow for lasting change. This means focusing on what the primary concern is, why it may have developed, and how to create long-lasting change and well-being.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.

How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realised.

How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
