You as a human being, you have a choice. And you can choose. You can choose to gain victory over yourself—or you can choose to try to pursue, for the rest of your life, trying to gain victory over your problems. In one, you will never win—in one you’ve got a fair shot. Prem Rawat

Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. In searching for a counsellor you've already taken a significant step towards improved self-awareness and personal growth. You may be feeling overwhelmed or upset by current difficulties or be concerned that you're not feeling what you "should" be about something or someone. You may be trying to make sense of past experiences or be wondering about how you'd like your future to be. I can provide a safe, confidential space in which we can explore what's going on for you. I will support you to understand and accept yourself and/ or identify and implement change in your life.

I work with children and young people up to aged 18. My clients typically have had an event in their life that they have experienced as traumatic. This then leads to difficulties with their behaviour or in certain situations, that they need help recovering from. Although sessions are confidential to the child, I work closely with the family to ensure that the child is well supported whilst they work their way through any difficult memories, thoughts and feelings.

Positive mental health is one of the most valuable things we can strive to have, and is a hugely important part of wellbeing at every stage of life. But life is complex, and at some point, most of us experience issues that require deeper attention and support. Therapy can help you discover the root of an issue; address problematic thoughts, feelings and behaviours; and help you embark on a more positive pathway forward. As a qualified psychotherapist, my role is to help you understand your experiences, and equip you with the confidence and autonomy to make changes that will help you regain control of your life.

I believe we are all different and what is beneficial to us changes as we encounter challenges throughout life. You may suffer from emotional problems including anxiety and depression, low self worth or relationship issues, struggle with bereavement or a life transition, eating disorders, panic, anger or traumatic experiences. Your goals may include alleviating symptoms of your distress, increasing self-awareness, better coping skills, exploring past experiences or developing emotional resilience. Whatever challenge brings you to therapy, you would like things to be different going forward.

I am lucky to be working with clients from a wide range of backgrounds with all sorts of issues. I see people on a 1-1 and if indicated, in my analytic group; mostly helping people with inter-personal issues which are often at the root of their depression, anxiety, loneliness. Clients report life-changing improvements in close relationships, self-awareness, self-confidence and feelings of belonging and significance. These foundational shifts occur through conversation: making links between past and present, noticing patterns and getting to the root cause.

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.
