You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just tired of holding everything together. Maybe anxiety, trauma, grief, workplace stress, or messy relationship patterns are showing up at the worst times. You want someone who talks like a real person, brings a bit of humour when it helps, and gives you tools you can actually use. If you’re ready to feel lighter and more in control, I’m here to walk through it with you, with no jargon and no judgement. I work in person (Mansfield, Nottinghamshire) and online across the UK, with evening and weekend sessions to fit around real life.

When a client feels comfortable enough to share with you their best kept fears, hopes and undisclosed events in their life it feels like a privilege. Don’t know where to begin, feel stuck and feelings of despair? Ready for change and want to transform your life? Feeling apprehensive and lost? Want to work through difficult relationships, bereavement or loss, life stress, addictions, health conditions? The list can go on. Are you feeling sad, overwhelmed, low self esteem, disorganised or undervalued. Do you struggle to be assertive or feel motivated? Questions around identity or sexuality. Struggling with neurodiversity?

You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what comes next — and you’ve likely tried to handle it all on your own. My clients come to me because they want to understand why they feel the way they do, heal what’s been holding them back, and build a life that feels more grounded, connected, and purposeful. Many of the people I work with struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, relationship challenges, or a sense that they’re “not enough.” Others are navigating big transitions; leaving a relationship, changing careers, confronting past trauma, intrusive thoughts or OCD. They don’t just want coping skills; they want insight, grow

You’ve always been the capable one — high-functioning, self-aware, maybe even the one others turn to for advice. But lately, everything feels like treacle. You’re burnt out, emotionally overloaded, and questioning who you are beneath the coping. I work with women who are anxious, overwhelmed, or navigating big life transitions, including birth trauma and motherhood. You’re craving space, slowness, and a return to yourself. This is where we begin.

You might experience anxiety, dissociation, flashbacks, emotional swings, self-harm urges, disordered eating or difficulties in relationships. You want relief, stability, and to feel like yourself again - not just cope, but truly heal. You may be tired of surviving and want life to feel calmer, safer and more meaningful.

Female Counsellors
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.
