As a gestalt counselor, I believe we are all born equipped with resources and ability to lead fulfilling lives. However, often during childhood or later in life, something interrupts this process and we become stuck in fixed patterns and beliefs about our selves that get in the way. I see my task as a counselor to help you see more clearly what your situation is, find out how you are part of it and experiment with finding new solutions or ways to face the difficulty. I have direct experience working with adults and young people from different cultural backgrounds.

Hello when you are stressed, depressed or anxious looking for the right Counsellor or Life Coach can be a very challenging task. I believe that it takes a strength of character to admit to yourself that you need the help of another person. I offer you a warm and confidential space where you can share with me the things that are a major concern to you at this time. I offer an initial half-hour complimentary session to establish a collaborative decision on the way forward.

A confidential, non-judgmental space where you can explore positive and challenging aspects of your life and any change you wish to explore or make. I have personal experience in sexual, physical, emotional and mental abuse; divorce; living with a Narcissist; step-parenting and living in an Ex-pat community. The approaches I predominantly use are Solution Focused, Bowenian Systemic approach, Brainspotting or Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP). All approaches work with clients, though I have found 'Walk and Talk' or EFP best for adolescents or those suffering with PTSD or Trauma, along with Brainspotting.

It can offer you an environment where you begin to make sense of your experiences, both past and present, and discover how you feel about them. The process in itself can bring relief, sometimes it can be challenging, but as we begin to make sense of things, we can explore ways that will help you to move forward in your life.

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.
