Hello and a warm welcome to you.
‘Something’ that is creating distress, and maybe leading to dysfunction, perhaps a feeling of ‘stuckness’ or 'emptiness' in your life, may have brought you here. This ‘something’ could be struggles within yourself, difficulties in relationships or dealing with grief or loss to name only a few. This ‘something’ may not yet be known to have a cause or reason and you may be unaware of exactly what the root of this inner pain or suffering is. And that’s okay. It could be a long-term feeling of emptiness. And gently starting to explore this feeling of emptiness is where our work begins.

There is a quiet, persistent knowing when a life has become a series of inherited patterns or a cycle of 'penance' that no longer serves. Perhaps traditional paths have felt too rigid, leaving the deeper, soulful layers of your experience untouched. My work is for those seeking to move beyond the surface—those who are ready to un-weave the burdens of the past and reclaim a sense of vital, lived belonging. We look for the light that remains intact beneath the struggle, moving toward a life that feels authentic, expansive, and truly your own

Hi. Sometimes we can find ourselves in troubling and distressing times, not knowing how to find our way out. It can be much easier and achievable when shared with someone who can support and guide you through it. It can feel very lonely and isolating, often a place you never expected to find yourself in and living through. Finding a way out and some peace can feel like an impossible task. Being able to talk to someone in a non-judgemental environment that gets and understands you can be a massive relief. To know that you have the support of an experienced qualified counsellor is a great support with working through your concerns.

See More Female Counsellors FAQ - Therapist Gender
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.
