Women's Issues Counselling in Lichfield
You may have spent years feeling misunderstood, masking to cope, or believing you were “too much” or “not enough.” My work offers something different, a space where you don’t have to hide, explain, or apologise for who you are.
Many of the people I support feel overwhelmed, self‑critical, or unsure who they are beneath years of masking. Others are navigating the emotional impact of a new diagnosis, or trying to make sense of why life has felt harder than it seems for everyone else. Some are living with chronic pain that feels tied to stress, trauma or sensory overload.

You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, or disconnected from yourself, even if things appear fine on the outside. I work with people who are experiencing stress, emotional tension, or a sense of being stuck, and are looking for a deeper, more embodied way of understanding themselves. Somatic psychotherapy supports you to slow down, reconnect with your body and begin to gently shift patterns that no longer serve you.

I am an Integrative Counsellor which means that I use different models of therapy to best suit your specific needs. Listening can be very different from truly feeling heard from knowing that someone genuinely "gets you". I offer a non-judgemental and compassionate approach, providing a safe space for you to explore and work through your concerns at your own pace.
I have worked over 30 years as a counsellor within the NHS, further education and private practice.
I have carried out extensive research into The Transition into Motherhood, leading me to recognise the immensity and complexity of emotions that can arise.

You might be stuck in the same painful patterns in relationships, at work, or in your family, and wishing for change. Maybe you're constantly on edge, anxious, bracing for something to go wrong, followed by exhaustion or overwhelm. You've been pushing through, but now it just feels too much.
You may find yourself people-pleasing, avoiding conflict, or feeling afraid to “rock the boat.” Maybe you’ve lost your voice, or never had space to develop one, pouring energy into meeting others’ needs or simply trying to get through the day.

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.
