Hi, I am Theresa Acutt. The very first thing I will do is listen. I will provide a space where you are heard and supported, at your pace, so that you are able to move towards finding solutions that work for you. This space is a highly confidential and nonjudgmental space. During the session, I will incorporate a variety of evidence-based interventions specific to your individual needs. Imagine that in your session, you were to discover hope that something could change or a small step that showed you a way out of a situation, new perspectives, clarity, new skill, strategies and a better version of yourself.

The ideal client is the one who is willing to bring their whole self into the therapeutic space. Firstly, they probably just want to feel better - and that is fair. Therapy usually starts right there in the very practical ground of alleviating distress. For some that is enough. Others, may want to continue the journey of personal growth to further explore patterns of behaviour and any obstacles that stand between them and their greatest potential.

Grief and loss are part of everyday life however, there are ways to complete these lost relationships allowing the Client to move forward with their life. Trauma is brought about by events out-with our control or choices we've made or others in our lives. To bring healing from these events includes having a safe place to share the experience so that new ways of managing life are developed to allow healing to take place. This enables my clients to find true peace, rest & joy with life again. Therapy enables my clients to seek & find their true self, empowers them with endurance & tenacity while encouraging them to keep persevering.

Hi, Thank you for viewing my profile, I realise it can be an overwhelming process to begin searching for a counsellor and knowing who to choose and where to start as well as having confidence and trust in someone unknown to you to whom you may be expressing things never shared with others and becoming vulnerable at times. I have been in private practice for over 8 years and my journey to counselling began due to my own lived experiences through life and wanting to support others who may have also felt alone, unheard, unsupported and confused. I can offer a safe, respectful and non-clinical space to share and be supported.

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.
