My ideal client is a woman who feels like she's lost herself in the midst of motherhood, relationships, responsibilities, or just trying to keep up with life. She might be snapping over little things, feeling guilty afterward, overwhelmed by the mental load, or grieving the version of herself that existed before children. Often, she's the one holding it together for everyone else but inside, she feels like she's running on empty.
She wants to stop yelling, find time to do the things she loves, stop second-guessing everything, have a conversation with her partner that lasts longer than 5 seconds, and simply just, breathe!

Most issues that people experience have their origins in childhood when developmental needs were not met. Most parents mean well and do their best but because our culture is generally ignorant about the early needs of children the child has to learn how to adapt. For example a parent because of their upbringing may be easily angered. One way is for the child to move towards the parent by always trying to please the parent to ward off an angry episode. That is the behavior and the belief is "I have to be good or mummy will not love me." This establishes a mode that may not be helpful in later life in intimate relationships.

Hello, my name is Kendall. I am a queer sex and relationship therapist working exclusively online with the queer community. The majority of patients that I work with are AFAB, and of the sapphic persuasion, identities vary however I do work a lot with trans and NB folk. Individuals come to me for a variety of reasons from navigating their first queer relationship, sexual anxiety, coming to terms with their gender, realising they are some form of queer and unsure as to what to do about it. Couples are often seeking a queer therapist that simply 'gets it' to help navigate their queer relationship.

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.

I believe that trust is the highest form of human motivation and tricky situations challenge it in ourselves. We can have strengths that are as salient and unique as the barriers we face. My clients can have a good insight into themselves or their situation. They may have qualities that set them up for life or have achievements and yet experience significant setbacks that impact their mental health. I work largely with women navigating their pregnancy, parents with young children (up to 4 yrs), immigrants or people of a multi-racial background navigating change in a personal or professional context.

I'm a counsellor who has specialised in psychosexual therapy. Many of the women I work with feel disconnected from their sexual selves. They may be experiencing painful penetration, low desire, difficulty reaching orgasm, or struggling with body image and self-esteem. These challenges are often shaped by deeper emotional patterns and beliefs around sex and the body. My approach is gentle, collaborative, and grounded in schema therapy, viewed through a feminist lens. I offer a non-judgmental space to explore what’s going on beneath the surface and how these might be impacting your relationship with your body, sexuality, and intimacy.

The women I work with are often carrying more than anyone around them realises: grief after pregnancy or baby loss, postnatal anxiety, birth trauma, burnout, or a sense of self that's quietly shifting.
Most arrive when managing alone stops being enough. They need a space that's entirely theirs; somewhere they don't have to perform okay-ness.
I work relationally and trauma-informed, at a pace that feels right for you. Progress looks different for every woman, but the space stays the same: warm, unhurried, and genuinely safe.

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.
