Hello and thank you for connecting with me. Are you fed up feeling fed up? I completely understand and am here to help. We all carry wounds. This may be because of challenging personal relationships, family issues, domestic or childhood abuse or just the many challenges life brings. Sometimes, we may be unsure why we feel the way we do, but have a strong sense that things could be brighter. Peeling back the layers of our lives takes great courage, but change is possible, indeed inevitable, when we take that leap of faith.

Hi there. Are you tired of patching things up? Not feeling heard or understood?
You may be feeling low, anxious, or lost. Perhaps you’re carrying the weight of trauma, sexual abuse, childhood adversity, relationships, or other painful events. You may be struggling with intimacy or identity, or feeling like you don’t belong- invisible, misunderstood, or too much.
You don’t have to face it alone. I offer a calm, compassionate space where you can be yourself, feel heard and gently explore what’s coming up for you.
Together, we will draw on your strengths, make sense of things, build self-awareness, and create lasting change.

Counselling is a safe place for you to stop, take stock and explore the parts of your life that you are finding difficult. It is a time for you to use for whatever you decide, and always without pressure or judgement. I have particular experience in working with trauma and sexual abuse, but you can use counselling for all sorts of issues, for example self-esteem, stress, depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationships, suicidal thoughts, harassment at work, identity issues, breakup, or decision-making. Dealing with ‘unwanted habits’ of whatever kind can be a large part of counselling.

I am an experienced therapist, with around 30 years in practice helping people who feel stuck or disconnected, who are suffering losses, in transitions in life, or struggling with something that just doesn't feel right. If that sounds like you, you may wonder whether it's even possible to feel alright in the world as it is, or maybe there's something in your past or present experience that you've never really felt able to speak about. Counselling, an attuned, non-judgmental relationship in which it's safe to explore, can really shift your experience.

You may be someone who feels overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself, even if on the surface you appear to be coping. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware, and exhausted from trying to “push through” anxiety, low mood, stress, or long-standing patterns that no longer serve them. You might be struggling with confidence, identity, or a harsh inner critic, and looking for a therapist who is relatable, authentic, and flexible in their approach — someone who can help you understand yourself more deeply and work with your strengths.

My ideal client is someone navigating "messy" life hurdles—perhaps struggling with substance use, relationship conflicts, or patterns of behavior that feel hard to break. They need a non-judgmental space to unpack these challenges without fear of being shamed. Their goal is to regain control and quiet their inner critic. Using CBT and Compassion-Focused techniques, we’ll build on their strengths to create lasting change. They want to be truly heard, understood, and supported as they work toward a more stable, meaningful life.

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.
