Female Counselling in Warwick, ENG
At times, people can feel overwhelmed by events or relationships in their lives. You may feel anxious, confused, depressed, frustrated and alone. You may be troubled by something you don’t understand, or something in your life isn’t working out as you want and you can’t seem to see the 'wood for the trees'. Trying to understand such events and feelings or make lasting positive changes can seem too difficult on your own, and this is where counselling or life coaching or a blend of the two therapies can help.

Everyone needs a little support every now and again navigating life’s challenges. Having a therapeutic space to reflect, consider and gain perspective on all of our difficulties, can be enormously beneficial in improving our relationships and overall quality of life. Following one's passions and values is a far more preferable way of living rather than existing to avoid our fears.

Even the strongest of us need help and support, and therapy is not meant to “fix” someone but to help them discover their full potential, this is my philosophy. Therapy is like a journey that the therapist and the client undertake together to explore the best options, with the client being the expert in their lives. Nobody knows better our life and what does it mean to be us than ourselves. Therapy is there to act as a guide for these explorations. And it is a privilege for the therapist to be part of this very personal journey and to share her knowledge and expertise, enabling in this way the change for a better life.

Adults and children may find it difficult to talk about how they feel or know how to express the feelings that are causing them anguish. They may find it easier to use a nonverbal method of communication. The use of art materials may allow a connection between the client, the art image/object, and the therapist and whilst reflecting on the image with the therapist, this may encourage a dialogue, the client may discover and make sense of an experience that has previously been causing them distress. Art materials and the process of making art is a tactile, sensory way of helping someone to communicate difficult thoughts and feelings.

I provide therapeutic space for you to reflect, think about and explore difficulties without judgement. Sometimes we can have an idea about what we are struggling with, sometimes we are less sure. Accessing therapy can help us to understand ourselves and give meaning to that which leaves us feeling stuck. Sometimes things that are happening in the here and now can bring up feelings that we have experienced in the past that we may or may not be aware of. This may create discomfort, pain, distress, anxiety, depression and overwhelm. People often describe feeling empty, in darkness, alone, lacking energy and feeling frightened.

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.
