Counselling can be an opportunity to focus on yourself and bring change to your current situation. Therapy is a leap of faith that can result in growth and self-awareness. Times can be difficult, and navigating yourself through this can be the biggest challenge of all, but together, we can bring "You" into focus to work on what may be causing difficulties in your life. I work in a way that allows us to explore the initial issues and find further understanding of what is causing these under the surface.

Are you weighed down by anxiety or depression? Perhaps you are going through fertility treatment and you feel an overwhelming mix of emotions - including hope and fear - and you're holding it all together - lots of spinning plates - it feels too much to carry at times. Have you given birth and the birth was difficult and you know that you need to process what happened to you, but at the same time you push the memory away so that you can get through the day - perhaps your body is different, now, since you gave birth? Perhaps you have scars, stretch marks, loose skin, a prolapse? Are you feeling lost and unsure of who you are?

Reaching out for support isn’t always easy, especially when life feels overwhelming or you’re stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand. You may feel anxious, low, or sense something isn’t quite right, even if you can’t name it. These experiences can be confusing and isolating, and it takes courage to take the first step toward making sense of them. I provide a safe, confidential space to explore what’s beneath the surface at a pace that suits you. Therapy can bring clarity to confusing or difficult experiences. Together, we’ll work to understand your emotional world and build greater self-awareness, resilience, and choice.

You’re someone others depend on, the one who keeps things moving, holds things together, and rarely lets things drop. From the outside, you seem capable and in control. But internally, it can feel heavier than it looks. You might find yourself overthinking, stretched, or quietly carrying more than anyone realises.

If you’re caught in cycles of anxiety, relationship issues, or struggling after a breakup or divorce, you might feel exhausted by self-doubt, and the emotional ups and downs. You may long for clarity, calm, and a way to feel more secure in yourself and your relationships. If this describes you, I'm here to help. I'm also very much here to support the important changes and transitions of life - going to university, leaving home, finding a partner, living together, marriage, having a family, menopause, old age, and bereavement. Life shifts can be deeply unsettling, but we can work closely together to make them more manageable.

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.
