Welcome! Can I start by acknowledging you for getting this point. It is not often easy and finding the right therapist can feel even more challenging. It does not have to be. The next step is about finding someone who will be the best 'therapeutic fit 'for you. Counselling gives you the opportunity to talk openly and honestly . My professional role is to create a safe trusted space to enable you to do this and journey into a deeper exploration of yourself. Therapy is about using the therapeutic process to help you find your own answers. This is why the therapeutic relationship is important. Listen to how you feel when you call.

I help sensitive souls reclaim the part of themselves lost to others over many years, so that they can discover their true essence and live their lives in balance and harmony without fear, confusion and co-dependency. I offer an empathic, compassionate, intuitive and creative service and my style is conversational. My intuition guides me, my theoretical knowledge and personal experiences inform my work and my creativity allows my clients to benefit from an 'outside the box' approach. Sensitivity, anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, chronic PTSD, low confidence and self esteem are my specialities.

I’m a strong believer that, in the words of Nelson Mandela “there is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living” – yet sometimes life is really quite tough and we find ourselves struggling and this ideal seems far from our reality. You may find yourself feeling emotionally overwhelmed, anxious or lonely. Or, you may have been struggling for some time and haven’t found the motivation to address it but now that struggle may be feeling a little bigger.

One thing that’s true about therapy are the healing benefits of being able to offload with someone who isn’t involved in the rest of your life. A safe space to talk can relieve the heavy burden of whatever is weighing you down. Your uniqueness will always be valued, and I’ll never underestimate the privilege to hear your life story.

Few of us live through life without suffering and pain - small daily traumas, griefs from relationships/loss, news, social media, work - which left unattended or gone unnoticed can cause us to turn away from ourselves, others, mother earth . In doing so, while we are protecting ourselves in the moment, we can wind up feeling isolated, alone, unsafe & unsure of what lies ahead -what is the next step for us to take. Global concerns, environmental crisis, & daily life can move us away from ourselves. Counselling offers ways to learn to develop our true belonging, awareness, restoring our voice to live in our true authentic selves.

Are past experiences or traumas impacting your life? Do you feel like you should be “over it” by now, but the past still keeps affecting the present? My name is Fi and I can help you unravel the hurt from past trauma. I'm not your typical therapist. I've been known to drop a well-placed swear word or three, because sometimes life's challenges call for a hearty dose of real talk. I specialise in Trauma Counselling but see clients with a wide range of issues. Trauma can be an overwhelming and complex experience, affecting every aspect of our lives. My own personal life experience, has shown me how healing counselling can be.

If on the surface you look like you have it all together, but the silent voice of self-doubt plagues you, then we will likely work well together. I like to work with the heart of a matter, rather than treat symptoms at a surface level. I work with both adolescents and adults, and have over 13 years experience in mental health. I have a fantastic team of Psychologists working with me, and we also specialise in ASD and ADHD assessments.

As well as private practice, I work for a charity in Winchester offering counselling to women who have experienced domestic abuse.
You may be seeking counselling for a specific issue, such as anxiety, abuse, bereavement or perhaps you are feeling stuck or out of sorts. Whether you are facing personal struggles, relationship issues, or simply seeking personal growth, I see counselling as an opportunity for you to safely explore your emotions and to help you develop coping strategies. Life experiences can leave us feeling angry, ashamed, anxious, and sad. I believe that we don't have to be identified by these experiences. Together we can explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe, non-judgemental and supportive space.

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.
