EXPLORE - EXPERIENCE - ENGAGE - EMPOWER How we feel can impact on our world significantly. Talking through thoughts and feelings at our own pace can be a helpful way to explore what may lie at the root of pain and difficulty. My endeavour as a PERSON CENTRED NATURE THERAPIST is to work alongside you in finding your way back to a space of balance and wellbeing within. PERSON CENTRED therapy is at the very core of how I work therapeutically and NATURE deepens and inspires that process. Combining these approaches can be a way to explore thoughts and feelings and facilitate healing.

Reaching out for help and taking the first step can feel hard. I can support you to identify and understand the problem you’re struggling with, navigate the difficulties this brings, and help you in your journey to self-discovery and healing. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers effective strategies to assist people experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), to build lasting change. I offer a supportive and non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and emotions while learning tools and techniques that can help you manage the difficulties.

You might be finding it difficult to cope with anxiety, low mood, sadness or feelings of isolation or hopelessness. Perhaps there is no-one in your life who you can talk to about your situation.

I really aim to offer non-judgmental, listening & understanding as well as new perspectives and tools to take away. I challenge my clients unhealthy, unkind views of themselves or behaviours, but trust their own innate self-knowledge too. The process is often difficult, but I'll be beside you. With time and patience, real understanding of self and others can happen, and help you lead a happier, healthier life.

I am an integrative counsellor and so draw on a range of theories in our work together. Underpinning my work is my belief that we all have a human desire to feel whole and connected, with ourselves and with others.  Yet, this can seem unreachable. I will help you explore those parts of your experience that may prevent you feeling this way, and always hold in mind how difficult this can be at times. I have experience working with a variety of issues, such as anxiety, depression, bereavement, identity and unresolved trauma (including abuse and attachment).

Female Counsellors

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.
