Hello, I am Caroline and my experiences as a client ,over about 4 years inspired me to become a counsellor. These positive experiences changed my life for the better and I would like to use this to help others to deal with the complexities of life. Loss and change are inevitable and we can find change particularly difficult especially when it is imposed on us. Sometimes we hide feelings of deep distress until they explode to the surface knocking us off our feet. Redundancy ,unemployment, bereavement, chronic illness, low self esteem, anger management and depression are all issues which highlighted during COVID. and still remain

Life will sometimes take us down paths we havn't asked for, causing us to loose sense of our true self, dulling our energy and bringing uncertainty in how we choose to live. Talking does help. It gives you the chance to bring all your concerns and worries into a safe space where I can help you sort through each of them. With careful exploration we can identify what you might like to change and how to make the change. Life will feel easier and lighter as you start to gain control over how you choose to live it.

I am here to help you to start to move forward with more awareness of what’s going on for you and a way to build self-compassion and inner resources. I'm especially (but not exclusively!) interested in supporting older women - peri, mid, or post-menopause . This time is so tricky with the physical changes you'll be experiencing and the changes in your inner world. You may be less tolerant of what seemed ok before! So many women I speak to talk of feeling lost, wondering "what now?" If you've had children they're also likely to be flying the nest just around this time. I offer the space to sit back, be, let it all out and regroup,

Women's Issues Counsellors
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realised.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
