Women's Issues Therapists in Linksfield
I am an Occupational Therapist specialised in mental and sexual health. I treat each client as an individual and cater to their unique gender, racial, cultural, personality and financial needs. The goal in my therapy sessions is to help each client to become functional and successful not only despite, but also because of their challenges. The focus is on what matters most to you and not what the matter is with you. During therapy, you can dig into a basket of fidget toys, colour while you talk, sit on the floor, sip on a cup of herbal tea... it is about your comfort.

I love working with people who feel different. Specifically, with regards to gender, sex & sexuality, relationship structures and parenting with awareness & intention. In Sex Therapy we think about your sexual and intimate life. If sex (solo or partnered) is not what you had hoped it would be, counselling can be a helpful process to get a better understanding of how the body-mind connection works when it comes to the different elements of sex. I am committed to unpacking harmful narratives & misinformation, while creating a safe space for you to do the work.

Are you facing challenges related to your sexuality or life in general? Sexuality is a deeply personal and authentic aspect of our identity, rooted in our heritage, values, and individual experiences. It encompasses our gender roles, sexual orientation, intimacy, pleasure, and even the legacy of how we connect with ourselves and others. Life, too, with its highs and lows, from career struggles to financial stress, addiction, and more, can challenge our sense of self and sustainability.

I work with adults living with the lasting effects of childhood trauma, chronic stress, and emotional overwhelm — including those who feel stuck in survival mode, disconnected from themselves, or repeating patterns in relationships and self-worth. Many feel they have lost their identity or never fully developed a sense of who they are.
I also work with women who feel lost — through motherhood, divorce, or simply years of putting everyone else first. My clients want more than insight. They want emotional stability, practical tools, healthier coping, and a grounded sense of direction and purpose — working with both the mind and body.

Feeling stuck, anxious, or emotionally drained after a difficult experience? Maybe you're carrying the weight of trauma, a brain injury, or a life change that's left you feeling disconnected from yourself. You might be going through the motions but not really feeling your life. Perhaps you've tried talking about it before and it didn't help — or the idea of sitting and reliving painful memories feels unbearable. You deserve support that works differently. A space where healing happens gently, creatively, and at your pace.

Hi There!
Many of my clients experience deep spiritual questions and struggle to express it, thus carry it in silence. Sometimes they feel confused, ashamed, or disconnected from their faith. Some are unsure if it's even safe to ask some faith related questions or speak openly about their doubts. They often have guilt or spiritual pain from past events. People are searching for clarity, and reconnection—with themselves, with others, and God. I offer a safe, respectful space for them to talk without being judged and help them to rediscover a sense of spiritual grounding. Contact me if you need to reconnect.

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.
