I have trained to counsel my clients online. I know from the work that I have done that it helps people to talk to someone like me. Maybe this is because you don’t know me personally so it is easier to talk of what is bothering you. I can work with you so that you can resolve issues, learn ways of coping , talk about what is upsetting you and get on with the rest of your life feeling more peaceful and less stressed . I work with many issues some of which include bereavement, loss, anger, anxiety, depression, relationships, divorce, sadness.

Are you finding it hard to connect with people and feel understood? Maybe you’re trying to make sense of a relationship; you used to get on but something’s changed and the idea of talking about it makes your heart race? Or perhaps you have tried but it’s left you feeling ashamed and hurt. Counselling can make room for change.

My aim is to co-create an environment that offers you a place to bring and share your unique experiences and begin to explore and understand how they have impacted you. I believe everyone can benefit from sharing their stories; often being truly heard for the first time. Nonetheless, this can feel odd initially, sat sharing information with a stranger. My creative approach to therapy responds to your individual needs to best support you whist undertaking this. My experience of working with survivors of trauma has been a live demonstration of the impact of previous and current experiences on our health.

There is no right or wrong reason for seeking counselling. It can help individuals learn, grow and understand. It can help people to make sense of circumstances or emotions that they are experiencing. It can offer an opportunity to explore and speak about things which simply aren’t talked about with anyone else. It can be helpful, informative, challenging and emotional. It can be whatever you need it to be. Our work together is driven by you; your experience, your preferences, your needs and your goals. I will seek to understand you and your experiences and what you hope to be different once our work together ends.

Hi, I’m Sharon. Is your work/life balance out of kilter? Finding more stress at every turn? Never catching up on sleep and rest? I too have felt overwhelmed with the pressure and dangers of the job. I have been exhausted after a shift but when my head hits the pillow, I’m wide awake. I’m visualising what I’ve seen and I’m reviewing, wondering if I could have done better. I have felt trapped and stuck in the job and have felt very demotivated and unsupported… I get it. I can offer you unrestricted therapy sessions with no detriment to your career. You decide when to start and when to stop.

What I do best is use evidence-based interventions (CBT, ACT, EMDR) to help women like you break free from anxiety, stress, panic or depression to step into a life they love.
I'm Dr Michaela Dunbar, Clinical Psychologist and Founder of My Easy Therapy, and what do I know about you? You’re used to accepting your negative thoughts as facts, now they are creating persistent anxiety and low mood, taking you completely away from your values and goals, and affecting your relationships. You probably find it really difficult to sit with uncomfortable emotions like sadness, anxiety or anger and have gotten into a habit of doing things to try to avoid them which ends up making matters worse. Something in you wants to make a change and you know you need support to do it. It's super hard but that's where I come in.

A warm hello and thank you for visiting my profile. I am Ellie, a qualified art therapist. This means that other than talking, we can also look at creative ways for you (that do not require any expenses) to express feelings and thoughts, as sometimes talking about difficult material continuously can be overwhelming. Allowing oneself to be vulnerable is difficult and I truly commend you for making a first step in seeking support. We will work together to create a therapeutic alliance and explore your troubles, as we look at ways to manage them. Much of my work is trauma-informed, working with relational trauma of different types.

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.
