Hello, I'm Sam. I'm a counsellor and hypnotherapist, working in a person centred way. I'm open, and honest, and I'm here to help you with whatever you need to bring. Since I first started training as a therapist, I could see that it was never going to be as simple as one size fits all. We are all individuals, and even though we have our similarities, we all live our own realities. Because of this I knew it would be important to study a wide range of therapies and techniques to custom a session as much as I could to each person.

Hello, I am Kim, a Chartered Counselling Psychologist. I specialise in helping people who are struggling to cope with chronic conditions such as persistent pain, chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes or life following an accident. It can be difficult to adjust to life with a chronic condition. It is common to feel anxious about the future and low in mood. The desire to return to your previous self or to be different in some way contributes to the struggle. I have worked extensively in the NHS and private practice. My aim is to help you live your best life despite the condition.

Hello. I understand first-hand how difficult it can be to make that first step of reaching out for help, and I’m so glad that you are here. It may be that you have experienced events in the past that are impacting your life now, or are currently going through some dark times, and need support in navigating your way through? Perhaps you have been feeling anxious or depressed and just want to feel better? Or are there changes in your life that you are struggling with? You might know exactly what you need to work through…or you may not understand exactly what is going on, but you know something just doesn't feel right. I can help.

Sometimes in our life and when we least expect it we feel low and everything is a struggle. We do not realise that this could have been building for a while. We get stuck and everything is an uphill struggle, we do not know what to do and it soon becomes overwhelming. This is when you need someone to talk to, a neutral person that will sit and listen and be non judgmental and empathic. Your well being is important to me and I will treat you with the utmost of respect. I will help you to achieve your goals. Based in Southend on Sea and parking close by my office is quiet and safe for you to visit.

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.
