Perhaps you've been holding everything together for so long that you've forgotten what it feels like not to. Maybe a diagnosis, a loss, caring responsibilities, the fog of menopause or reaching burnout has finally made that impossible. I'm Kate - a counsellor who understands these experiences both professionally and personally. You don't have to keep going the way you have been. This could be the moment you finally put yourself first, and I'd be honoured to walk alongside you.

Think of me as someone you can talk to about anything—whether you’re feeling stressed, stuck, overwhelmed, or just need to vent. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling like “technically nothing is wrong in my life, but I’m just not happy. Is this really it?” You might be feeling anxious about the future, unhappy in your relationship, or waiting for a partner to change and realising it’s not happening. Perhaps you’re considering ending your marriage or making a big life change, but the fear of being alone or starting over feels overwhelming. These struggles can leave you feeling anxious, suffocated, taken for granted.

Sexual and relational wellbeing is for many a key factor for good mental health and relationship satisfaction. Yet it can feel very complex to navigate and often isolating. It’s very common to stumble upon challenges within the course of your relationship and sometimes a bit of professional help is what your relationship needs to thrive. Whether you are seeking support as an individual or as a couple, I tailor my therapeutic approach to your unique needs.

You might also experience work related stress or be dealing with relationship difficulties. Self-development may also be the reason for seeking therapy. Therapy provides an opportunity to explore and make sense of your difficulties in a safe, non-judgmental environment, to develop your self-understanding and improve your relationships.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low, or stuck, even if you can’t fully explain why. Perhaps work, relationships, or life changes have left you questioning yourself, your choices, or your sense of direction. I work with adults and couples who want to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and make meaningful, lasting change, rather than relying on quick fixes or coping strategies that don’t hold. Therapy with me offers space to slow down, think clearly, and explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, so you can move forward with greater confidence and agency.

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.
