I'm Julie, an experienced birth, trauma and parenting specialist. Are you finding the demands of early parenting much tougher than you imagined, leaving you overwhelmed and anxious, but unable to see a way out of the current chaos and fog? Are you feeling constantly exhausted, sad. tearful, inadequate, unable to concentrate and make decisions, and not finding much joy in anything? Did you have a traumatic birth or other experience, which has left you feeling on-edge, with flashbacks and trapped in a cycle of depression, anger and guilt? Or perhaps you are pregnant and struggling with difficult thoughts around your forthcoming birth?

When it comes to therapy, the process can be life changing or sometimes just very necessary. When clients need to confront issues or make changes, this can be daunting, overwhelming or even confusing. My role as a therapist is not to judge you or tell you what to do; instead I aim to help you see your situation more clearly and guide you towards your own innate wisdom. The clients I work with are ready to embark on this inner journey of transformation gaining better self-awareness, improved self-acceptance and greater authenticity.

Thanks for looking at my profile. I am a highly experienced counsellor, seeing individuals, couples and teenagers. What makes someone choose a counsellor, because it seems we all pretty much offer the same therapies. Is it the warm photograph to promote ourselves or the letters after our name. At this point most people have stopped reading, but if you continue you may see how I can help you.

I love working with clients! Often a client may report a current problem or mood problem, but once we start the therapy "detective" work we uncover other deeper issues that lie beneath. Such issues may have led client's to live by subconscious "rules" or beliefs. Therapy offers the safe space and time to explore and review these. "Do they still work for you? Are they useful in this stage of your life?". These are examples of some of the questions we explore together. Life transitions, such as having a baby, changing job, end of relationship, illness diagnosis can be challenging. Therapy can help transition you to a better life.

When you’ve been struggling in life, getting excited about the future can feel hard. You want to move forward and want to feel better but you feel stuck, it’s like the world keeps turning but you can’t move with it. Trauma shows itself in a variety of ways, sometimes it can be hard to recognise support is need. Common symptoms include anxiety, insomnia, isolation, addiction, relationship problems, mood swings, work related problems and deep physical pain. At times it can feel completely overwhelming. You don’t have to do it alone. I have my own experiences of trauma. I know how important it is to ask for help.

First and foremost I aim to sit with you as another human being, with an open mind and a gentle approach from which we can think together about what has led you to try counselling. From this starting point we can then look at why you might be struggling with the thoughts and feelings that you face on a daily basis, be it a life situation that you need support with, past experiences that you are ready to share or if you are trying to make sense of why life seems to be so challenging for you, without any clear defining cause.

Infertility Counsellors

How can infertility affect couples and their relationship?

Clients who are dealing with infertility may experience conflict and communication problems. It’s not unusual for shame, blame, and guilt to arise in cases of infertility, whether the source of the problem is one partner or both. This means that clients are upset and pulling away from their partner just when they need them the most. Some clients may find it difficult to spend time around friends and family who are pregnant. Friends and family can also make hurtful comments that increase tension during this time.

How does therapy for infertility issues work?

The therapist will begin by gathering information about the client or couple and make a treatment plan for their specific concerns. In addition to addressing common mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma reactions or PTSD, therapists can help clients improve their decision-making and deal with stressors unique to infertility. Some examples include coping with the “two-week wait” before a pregnancy test, the distress associated with a failed attempt or miscarriage, and the shame and blame sometimes associated with reproductive concerns.

What type of therapy is best for infertility issues?

Many therapists offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples who are dealing with infertility issues. Some helpful therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which can aid clients in reframing negative thoughts about their situation. Expressive writing and art therapy can help clients process difficult feelings. Clients might also benefit from group therapy to experience support from others who are dealing with the same problems.

How long does therapy for infertility issues take?

There is no set length for therapy that addresses infertility or reproductive concerns. Some clients might find it helpful to continue therapy during their pregnancy to have healthy ways to cope with any associated stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some clients who decide not to pursue fertility treatments might benefit from the support of a therapist. The duration of therapy varies depending on the individual client’s specific needs and goals.
