Female Psychologists and Therapists in Fremantle, WA
My name's Britt, and I’m so glad you're here.
'Maitrī' is a Sanskrit word meaning unconditional friendship and loving-kindness – a deliberate practice of compassion, non-judgment, and goodwill toward oneself and others. This principle is at the heart of my work.
I see healing as a process of re-integration, whereby – with maitrī – we bring all hurt or disowned parts of ourselves back into wholeness, and remember how to be our own best friend.
Many of the people I work with are deeply self-aware, yet still feel stuck in cycles of self-criticism, overthinking, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, or painful relationship patterns.

I feel especially drawn to working with deep thinkers, sensitive souls, and the so-called “black sheep”—those who often feel like outsiders, yet carry profound insight and depth. I aim to create a therapeutic space that’s collaborative, curious, and grounded in presence, where all parts of you are welcome and nothing needs to be performed. I focus on areas such as chronic stress, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationships, and personal and spiritual growth. I have a particular interest in men’s wellbeing and creating safe, supportive spaces for men to explore their emotional health, as well as women, teens, and couples.

There are many reasons why we can feel disconnected in today's modern society. We can lose touch with who we are, what matters most to us or what gives our life a sense of meaning and direction.
You might be feeling lonely, anxious, sad, confused or unsure how to move forward. You may be feeling stuck and needing support to find your way through. It can be daunting taking the first step and letting yourself be seen by someone, but I believe that when we create a safe, trusting space, you have the potential to transform your life, befriend your emotions and be free to live your life on your terms.

I see both adults and adolescents who typically present with a range of emotional, behavioural, relational, or life-transition difficulties that are causing distress and reducing functioning. Their needs often centre on feeling heard, understood, and safe enough to explore their experiences without judgement. Common goals include reducing symptoms (such as anxiety, depression, or stress), improving coping skills, strengthening relationships, and gaining clarity about their values and direction.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
