Looking for a counsellor for the first time can be daunting. However, suffering ongoing emotional pain is miserable. We are all entitled to lead a fulfilling life. Maybe you have a specific issue, or maybe you or aren't sure what is wrong , but you feel low or anxious. I have 20 years' experience of working in the mental health field, and set up my practice as a counsellor in 2014. I work with adults of all ages and young adults (16-18). Talking to a professional who is not involved, that you can trust, who is not going to judge can help you to make sense of what is happening for you.

Are your thoughts spinning so fast that focusing feels impossible? Do you find yourself cycling through anxiety, stress, and burnout? Overthinking may be taking a toll on your work, relationships, and overall well-being. While the pressure often comes from within, it can negatively impact many areas of your life, leading to procrastination, avoidance, and even unhealthy coping mechanisms like overeating, substance use, or addiction.

Asking for help can feel daunting, but I can offer you a confidential space in which to share your unique life story and to explore difficult thoughts and feelings as well as your hopes, fears and aspirations. We can all struggle to cope with issues such as anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship or family difficulties, bereavement and loss; or with things in our past which have not been dealt with, that are now interfering with daily life. You may feel isolated and that you have no one to talk to or you may have the most supportive friends and family but still find it difficult to explain.

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.
