Women's Issues Counselling in Bakewell
Whether you’re dealing with anger, anxiety, bereavement, depression, estrangement, family issues, identity, loneliness, menopause, mortality, powerlessness, relationships, or simply want to talk things through, I offer a confidential, non-judgmental space to explore what you’re feeling, and how you can manage it.
We’re all different and we all need to find our own way. I can help you do that. The world throws a lot at us, and expects a lot of us. And, very often, we expect a lot of ourselves too. For many of us, it can help to talk through what we’re dealing with, to help us understand what’s going on and find a way forward.

How to explain what counselling is... If you're holding a cup of coffee and somebody accidentally bumps into you, you will most likely spill a drop or two, or depending on the bump impact a few spoonfuls or more. If there had been tea or something else in your cup, the result would be the same. Your emotions and feelings are like the coffee, because sometimes when life comes along and shakes you (which will happen to us all) whatever is inside your cup will spill out. Sometimes life can be easier until you get bumped.....but then you may need somebody to talk to, this is where counselling can help.

You look like you're holding it together on the outside. But inside something feels off. You're capable, thoughtful, used to being relied on but you feel anxious, empty, overwhelmed and misunderstood.
Perhaps you’re questioning your direction, identity, or going through a loss or change. You’re worried about how others perceive you and want to understand why you fall back on the same patterns in relationships that lead to frustration, withdrawal or low self-esteem.
You might be living by a set of rules you never consciously wrote and it’s driving self-doubt, guilt, or overthinking to the point you can’t switch off.

Do you often appear calm and capable on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, anxious or disconnected within? You may be struggling with anxiety, stress, low self-worth, relationship difficulties, life transitions or the lasting impact of difficult experiences. Many of the patterns that leave us feeling stuck today—such as perfectionism, people-pleasing, overthinking and self-criticism—were once creative ways of helping us cope. Together, we'll explore these patterns with curiosity rather than judgement, helping you understand yourself more deeply.

Do you feel like you are talking past each other, not with each other?

You’ve always been the capable one. High functioning, self-aware, often the person others turn to for advice. You understand yourself pretty well, but knowing why you feel this way doesn’t always stop the same patterns repeating. You might overthink relationships, struggle to trust or fully let people in, become attached to people who can’t quite meet your needs, or feel exhausted from always being the strong one. I work with women experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, attachment and relationship difficulties, trauma, motherhood and big life transitions.

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.
