Sometimes we are drawn to therapy because of a particular incident, difficulty or question and at other times it may be a less obvious tension. This can cause us to feel overwhelmed by uncomfortable emotions, numb and on ‘autopilot’ or on a constant rollercoaster between the two and the effect of this can be felt in our relationships with others and how we see ourselves. Exploring the dynamics underpinning our current state can allow us clarity to see the extent to which they are useful to us, and as a result of this choose, how vigorously (if at all) we want to change them.

I love working with clients! Often a client may report a current problem or mood problem, but once we start the therapy "detective" work we uncover other deeper issues that lie beneath. Such issues may have led client's to live by subconscious "rules" or beliefs. Therapy offers the safe space and time to explore and review these. "Do they still work for you? Are they useful in this stage of your life?". These are examples of some of the questions we explore together. Life transitions, such as having a baby, changing job, end of relationship, illness diagnosis can be challenging. Therapy can help transition you to a better life.

I'm Julie, an experienced birth, trauma and parenting specialist. Are you finding the demands of early parenting much tougher than you imagined, leaving you overwhelmed and anxious, but unable to see a way out of the current chaos and fog? Are you feeling constantly exhausted, sad. tearful, inadequate, unable to concentrate and make decisions, and not finding much joy in anything? Did you have a traumatic birth or other experience, which has left you feeling on-edge, with flashbacks and trapped in a cycle of depression, anger and guilt? Or perhaps you are pregnant and struggling with difficult thoughts around your forthcoming birth?

Female Counsellors
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.
