Female Counselling in Horley, ENG
There may be times when life just seems too much - we need someone to listen, to really hear us and help to unpick what's happening. I work with clients by building a trusting relationship where we can develop tools to help. I aim to invite self-awareness, to empower a clear sense of who you are in the world, allowing clients to notice their patterns and make choices. Often this leads to a deeper exploration of relationships, childhood experiences and adverse or traumatic experiences. Together, we can address the past and present in a calm and effective way.

Hello, welcome to my page. It can feel a bit of an alien world, if this is your first time looking for a counsellor, and hope I can help make the process straight-forward and calming.

This can increase confidence and have a positive effect on your personal, social and professional relationships.

Sometimes we lose touch with ourselves and grow numb, perhaps because we didn’t have the right environment growing up, or because things have happened in our lives and we have become stuck. Difficult things happen in our lives but when we feel isolated and alone with them these experiences can become traumatic. You may already have a sense of what you want from counselling, or you may just feel something's not right in your life. You may feel distressed, or you may simply want to be curious about who you are and who you hope to be. Even if you have a supportive circle, it may be easier to talk with an independent therapist.

Your life is filled with worry/or low mood. Your relationship(s) feel hard. Your focus is on surviving and getting through the days one way or the other. You are looking for answers to the way you feel and how to live without this crippling anxiety and build a life that you love. Often difficult childhood experiences such as mother wound, father wound, childhood emotional neglect (CEN) or other childhood trauma are manifested by common mental health and relationship difficulties. This does not have to be your life.

Most people at some point in their lives will struggle with painful feelings or may feel overwhelmed by past or present experiences. These can make us feel lost, anxious, confused, helpless, distressed or angry, sometimes without us knowing why. Counselling is also not just for supporting people through a crisis. Many people come to counselling to explore and get a better understanding of themselves and their lives. Whatever you are experiencing, it can be difficult to explain how we feel to the people who are closest to us. Sometimes it is easier to talk to someone who is separate from your everyday life.

Not accepting new clients
I usually work slowly and gradually with my clients over a longer period of time. This means I offer a very vital safe, quiet, and private space to speak and be. I particularly enjoy supporting young children ( from 3 years old to 13 years old) who are feeling lost and unsure of themselves. They may struggle to set clear boundaries with others or find that they are not able to express their own feelings.

Life is a challenge, at times we are woken up to the impact of emotional and psychological stress on our personal and professional lives which can suddenly hit us or, creep upon us in the cold light of day. I can help you to explore and take action to cope with those feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, stress and self-esteem. My experience with parenting issues, bullying or childhood sexual abuse recognises the challenges this presents to live authentically and experience genuine relationships lifting the cloud of despair. Together we can explore, identify goals to transform and help you live your life more successfully.

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as 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 ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
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—both men and women—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.
