The ultimate goal of therapy is to empower the client(s) to use their inner strength to reach life's fullest potential. Counselling is an important tool when a person(s) is experiencing difficulties which are affecting their quality of life. Often making life changes can be extremely fear provoking, causing insecurity in people, and especially for those who lack coping strategies when dealing with life's stressful events. My goal is to provide confidential and supportive help during these trying times, to help you to have the best potential outcome.

I half jokingly say that I'm a therapist for people who roll their eyes at therapy, but that should give you a clue on what it's like to work with me - I even promise not to ask "and how does that make you feel"! While I am still a qualifying therapist, I've spent 17 years working with the humans in corporate learning and development roles and I am ready to take ALL of me - both my formal counselling psychology education and training AND my years of experience in corporate - to get your mental health to where you deserve it to be.

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.
