As an integrative counsellor, my approach is grounded in the belief that no single therapy fits everyone. We are all shaped by our unique experiences, relationships, and challenges, and effective therapy should reflect that. I draw from a range of therapeutic model including Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, and CBT. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, low mood, difficulties, stress, trauma, or a general sense that something in life isn’t quite working.

I believe every relationship carries a unique story shaped by culture, family, faith, trauma, personality, and the nervous system. When couples struggle, it’s rarely about a lack of love — something in the system has become overwhelmed, unheard, or unprotected. I help partners slow down, feel safe, and truly hear each other with both their hearts and their nervous systems. My approach is gentle, direct, and respectful of each person’s story, including attachment needs, protective parts, cultural influences, and (where wanted) Christian faith.

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.
