Maybe something in your life isn’t sitting right — a shift in identity, a quiet grief, a sense of stuckness or disconnection. A feeling that you’ve lost your way; or perhaps never quite found it. You may be in a time of change, wondering who you are now, or holding stories that feel tangled, heavy, or unheard. Perhaps you’re living with sorrow or confusion that few people in your life seem to understand - or respect. Therapy can be a place to honour what's missing, and gently (re)connect with what is here. It is a place where you can feel seen. I offer a warm and nurturing space, supporting you in this tender and sacred work.

The aim of counselling is to promote healing and assist clients to take the next steps forward in their lives. Whether the issues stem from unresolved historic life events, acute trauma such as bereavement, separation or abuse or general depression and anxiety.

The way I work is to gently find out what's troubling you and where you'd like to be after therapy. I'm trained to support people as they notice emotional patterns that may be creating emotional difficulties. In childhood, we may have felt we weren't good enough, or were unsupported, misunderstood, rejected or simply unloved. I work with Attachment theory to support you in noticing how these childhood patterns may be affecting your adult relationships. Drawing on Emotional Freedom Therapy I support you as you gain an understanding of your emotions and what they are trying to tell you about how to create the kind of life you want.

Do you ever feel weird or like you just don't fit in? I know what it is like to feel different or like you don't really fit. Maybe you've always felt this way or life has shifted recently and you're not quite sure how to move forward. The world often has clear expectations of how it expects us to be or interact and that can leave many of us feeling different or out of place. It can be easy to beat ourselves up or feel we 'should' be able to cope with the things other people seem able to. This can often leave us feeling less than or like we are just not good enough.

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.
