I work with individuals, couples, and teenagers who want to better understand themselves and their relationships. Many come feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected - sometimes after holding things together for a long time, or when familiar ways of coping no longer work. They’re often looking for clarity, relief, or a different way forward. In our work together, we slow things down, make sense of what’s been happening, and begin to find a path that feels steadier, more meaningful, and more aligned with who you are.

At Wander and Wonder Counselling, I work to support adults who are sober, trying to get sober, or rebuilding life after addiction. Many people find that even when substance use stops, old emotional patterns remain — my work focuses on gently understanding and changing those patterns to support long-term sobriety.
I work with dual diagnosis, including addiction alongside anxiety, low mood, trauma, burnout, and life transitions. Sessions are paced, collaborative, and grounded in self-compassion. I also offer walk-and-talk sessions and animal-assisted therapy for clients who prefer a more natural, embodied approach.

You may look like you’re coping on the outside, while internally feeling stuck in patterns like overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-doubt. Or maybe you've spent years looking after everyone else, but struggle to extend the same compassion to yourself.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware and high-functioning, but still find themselves caught in patterns they can’t seem to shift.
Therapy can help you understand where these patterns come from—and begin creating meaningful, lasting change.

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.
