Psychodynamic counselling involves exploring how past experiences affect and shape the person we have become. Making the links between past and present offers you insight to create a future that no longer relies on pre-programmed and learned behaviours. This is achieved gently and with sensitivity at a pace that is set by you. The Psychodynamic model is one session per week and is open-ended to allow the space and time that is needed.

I realise what a daunting task it can be, to admit to yourself that you need support and to reach out to someone. Many people spend a long time thinking they can just snap out of it and beating themselves up when they are not able to, creating a vicious cycle that is hard to break. The fact you are here, looking for support is the first step, and often one of the hardest. If you are finding yourself repeating unhelpful patterns of behaviour, finding daily life a struggle, or looking to explore your past, present or future, I can support you as you work through them and step into the life that you want, and deserve.

We can talk about the past, present, the future (or all three) and aim to make sense of what's happening for you and hopefully work together to help you feel better, think better and live better. I understand from personal experience that seeking out counselling or any kind of support for your mental and emotional health can be challenging so well done for making this first step.

Life can be challenging, and we all experience times when life feels difficult. Maybe you're feeling worried, low, or stressed about events or changes in your life. Maybe you are just not feeling yourself, or good about yourself and would like to feel better or make some changes.

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.
