Female Counselling in BN42
I am accredited with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) & hold a master’s degree in Systemic Psychotherapy. I also have additional training in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT). EFT is a non-blaming approach to therapy which pays attention to how our thoughts, feelings and attachments impacts our interactions, behaviours and relationships. I offer a safe space for couples and individuals to explore presenting issues in order to better understand themselves, each other and their relationships.

Welcome, my name is Helen and I am an Integrative Relationship Therapist, Couples Counsellor and Family Counsellor. Times of stress and uncertainty can compromise our emotional health. I provide a space where we can safely explore both our thinking and feelings, as well as look at ways of changing past repetitive patterns of behaviour that are no longer providing the outcomes we want. My aim is to be compassionate, empathetic and non-judgemental while offering a different perspective where necessary. Using this approach I strive to enable my clients to feel relaxed and safe in exploring any issues they wish to discuss.

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.
