I create a relaxed, safe, open and confidential listening space and work with individuals to build an understanding of how their current difficulties emerged, what is perpetuating these difficulties, and to develop alternative coping strategies.

As part of my role as a counsellor I will always work to understand your unique perspective and how you see the world (and why that is). I will provide a safe space for us to work together, at your pace, to explore any issues you might be facing in your life.

Sometimes life can feel challenging and often our coping strategies can stop working for us. Talking therapy can give you the opportunity to explore what it is that is troubling you in a confidential and non-judgmental environment. I will tailor the sessions to suit you and draw on different approaches as needed.

My ideal client is an adult unsure of where they are in life. They have reached a point where they do not know what lies ahead. They may be unhappy in their current relationship/job/marriage and are uncertain of which way to turn. They want to feel alive again and look forward to each and every day rather than finding life a tedious merry go round of work and chores. In short they want to get back to what they love. Life is uncertain, but there are areas of your life that you CAN control even if the world appears to be chaotic.

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.
