I often think about the courage that it takes, to meet someone for the first time and open up to a stranger! If you are thinking about treatment, I want you to know I will listen to you, not with judgement but with compassion. I will seek to understand and explore with you, the deeper issues, that may be contributing to your current challenges or distress. Over time if you can trust me, “I will see you!” “I will step with you at your pace.” “I will listen to you and seek to understand.”

Thanks for finding some time to stop by even though life isn't going quite as you'd hoped right now. So, let’s cut to the chase. I believe in providing counselling that doesn't feel clinical so, we’re going to collaborate in the beautiful outdoors - nurturing with nature. If it's you I'm supporting, I invite you to come walk and talk or sit with me over a cuppa in a peaceful park. If it's a child, we'll use play, sensory materials and movement throughout the session. It's amazing how many therapeutic conversations can come from noticing the clouds, feeling the breeze, or climbing on play equipment.

My counselling approach is to find the critic voices within and bring them to the fore. Whether your dealing with anxiety, anger, depression, an addiction to pornography, infidelity or you just need a bit of guidance to find you again, we can work through those together. Life loves to throw a million curve balls and sometimes we don't have the capacity or tools to handle them. Or sometimes we think we are doing the right thing and handle it the best way we know how but then we make it worse. It becomes exhausting. I get it, have been there more than a few times myself. I invite you to Book an appointment today via my website link.

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.
