Does any of this sound familiar? From the outside, it looks like you have a great life, but you’re always waiting for the other shoe to drop. You feel like an imposter who's about to be found out any day now. You’ve noticed unhelpful patterns in your relationships. You feel ‘stuck’ but don’t know quite where you want to go. You're in a new phase of life where everything suddenly feels different. You’re exhausted and scared that life is never going to get any better than this. Something has to give. You’ve decided that thing is not going to be your mental health anymore. It's time for a change.

My clients often face overwhelming emotions, feelings of neglect, isolation, and anxiety. They frequently feel drained and are looking for a secure, welcoming space to express themselves. In our sessions, we explore therapeutic methods designed to build connections and empathy, cultivate kindness and self-compassion, and create strategies for coping and personal growth. Many of my clients also deal with PMDD, PME, or severe PMS, ADHD frequently diagnosed later in life, and the associated anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation that often accompanies these conditions.

We each have a story, what’s yours? I would be honored to hold space with you, to hear that story. All too often this is too hard for us to do on our own. As a natural helper, I’m here to listen, support and reflect while you explore your narrative. In our time together, you will have the openness to unfold and unpack, enlighten and transform, all those thoughts, emotions and situations that you have been holding onto. I trust in the heart of talk therapy, where we can have an authentic conversation. I believe that individuals can thrive, that they have the tenacity and will power to make the necessary changes to their lives.

I guide people through powerful life transitions and support them through the process of self-discovery and rebirth. Self-awareness is essential to overcoming life's obstacles. But there's often a catch isn't there. The story you tell yourself, it seems to have an agenda of its own. (I'm not good enough, someone's always achieving more than me. Why do I have to do all the work?) So how do you move beyond your current thinking? What has actually happened to warrant your thinking? What's been the core pattern in your relationships till now, and what happens when you challenge that pattern? Pause.... and sit with these questions.

Women's Issues Counsellors
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.
