We all experience some form of distress in our lives. It could be sadness, anger, loneliness, stress, grief, anxiety, depression or something that you can’t explain. It could be current or could have happened in the past, or you may not know when it happened. It could lead to feeling overwhelmed or unable to cope, it could be affecting the relationships around you both personally or professionally. There are many things that contribute to this distress and being aware of them can help to ease the connected emotions. Counselling can help you do this by providing a safe and confidential space to explore and reflect upon these feelings

Hi, I'm Emma, At the heart of my practice is a deep sense of compassion, empathy and respect for each person I work with. I know first-hand how much courage it can take to ask for help. I know it feels daunting, and so I create a safe, welcoming, warm and judgement free space where you are heard and valued. This one hour a week is for you! You decide what you want to bring, and together we can explore whatever feels important to you. Sometimes that might mean making sense of the past, sometimes understanding what is happening for you now, and sometimes finding practical ways to move forward.

Hi, I’m Morwenna. I help people who may seem to be coping on the outside but inside feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or unlike themselves. You may be navigating anxiety, self-doubt, grief, infertility, pregnancy loss, or a period of change that has left you feeling uncertain. Perhaps you’re used to managing everything and supporting others, but now things feel harder to carry. I offer a thoughtful space where you can feel understood, make sense of your experience, and begin to move forward.

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.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and highly self-aware, yet remain caught in patterns of self-criticism, perfectionism, pressure, and self-doubt. They may understand why they feel stuck but still struggle to translate insight into meaningful change. Therapy can help uncover what keeps these patterns in place and create a clearer path towards living with greater confidence, flexibility, and purpose.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low, or stuck, even if you can’t fully explain why. Perhaps work, relationships, or life changes have left you questioning yourself, your choices, or your sense of direction. I work with adults and couples who want to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and make meaningful, lasting change, rather than relying on quick fixes or coping strategies that don’t hold. Therapy with me offers space to slow down, think clearly, and explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, so you can move forward with greater confidence and agency.

Yet underneath, you may feel exhausted, guilty, disconnected from yourself, or unsure of what you truly want. You might find it difficult to set boundaries, say no without guilt, make decisions for yourself. You may feel caught between different identities, worlds, or versions of yourself, wanting to honour where you come from whilst also creating a life that feels authentic.

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.
