Therapy can provide an opportunity to explore and process your troubling thoughts and emotions, to gain more clarity and a sense of balance. Unprocessed emotions and traumas can be retained in our bodies, and we may start to feel disconnected. I believe that our physiology plays an important role in the process of healing . So, the body is one of the most valuable tools for the processing and integration of wounds and traumas we might carry.

Do you sometimes feel torn between a part of you that wants one thing and another that wants the opposite? Like a part that wants to be fit and healthy and another one that can’t stop eating? Or a part that does, feels or thinks in a way that another part says you shouldn’t, so another part feels guilty about it? Say a procrastinating part that leaves important tasks till the last moment, a self-critical part that beats down the procrastinating part, and a “there’s something wrong with me” part that feels a terrible sense of shame? The good news is that we are more than just the sum of our parts! Our innermost self is greater!

Therapy allows an individual to explore their current situation, their relationship to their self, to others, the environment and the social context within which they experience life. It creates a space to explore experiences and associated emotions which often influence choices and behaviours. Change comes about through processing emotions, behaviours and experiences which in turn can strengthen an individuals inner sense of direction, self-esteem and self-resilience. It can provide clarity and insight which enables an individual to see the world from a different perspective, creating the opportunity to find a new way forward.

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.
