Do you find yourself deeply affected by everyday situations, often feeling emotionally overwhelmed, anxious, or highly sensitive? Are you stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, struggling with boundaries, low self-esteem, or inner conflict? If that resonates with you, you're in the right place. I'm a Psychotherapist offering online therapy, and I specialise in working with individuals who identify as emotionally sensitive, self-critical, or overly responsible in relationships. As someone who is neurodivergent, I bring lived understanding to working with those who feel misunderstood or disconnected from their authentic selves.

I work with Depression and Anxiety. Commonly other issues are intertwined such as trauma, attachment issues and low self-esteem. Clients that begin to work with me often do so because they find that their feelings, thoughts or other symptoms have begun to affect areas of functioning in life; they find that coping mechanisms that have been helpful in the past are beginning to work less effectively. My attachment-based approach means that I am interested in your past - our early relationships determine how we connect with others as adults, how we view ourselves, and how we regulate ourselves.

You may be feeling stuck, anxious, or depressed, in pain or discomfort, and this can be your mind and body's way of signalling that something needs attention. You may not know what it is, but you know something doesn't feel right. I offer a safe, compassionate space to deepen your understanding of your discomfort, explore how it may have developed and what keeps it going, noticing how the past may be impacting your present. As insight grows, you begin to make sense of your experiences and recognise patterns. When we begin to use what we've learned, this can open up new possibilities and perspectives and support meaningful change.

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.
