Often, people come to therapy not because there is one clear problem, but because something doesn't feel quite right anymore. You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected from those around you, or wondering why the same difficulties keep resurfacing. I work with children (7+), adolescents, adults, and couples experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, maternal mental health concerns, grief, and major life transitions. Together, we explore these experiences with curiosity and care.

Often we find ourselves responding to painful situations in ways that feel familiar but difficult to explain. We may repeat patterns in relationships, struggle with the same feelings, or feel stuck in ways we cannot fully understand. These difficulties becomes easier to navigate when there is room to explore them safely with another person. Therapy offers a professional, non-judgmental relationship that can help make these experiences more understandable and create opportunities for change.

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.
