Female Counselling in Strabane, NIR
My approach focuses on the human narrative in the meaning making process. Each human being has a story that matters and no story is less or more important than any other. Understanding our story leads to healthy connection with ourselves and our environment. Without this connection, emotional and physical suffering prevail. Entering into the therapeutic relationship takes courage and commitment because it means exploring unknown territory. It's a journey of self discovery and awareness that can sometimes feel overwhelming. Ultimately though, it is liberating and restorative. Mind, Body and Soul find new balance in co-regulation.

I believe the most important relationship we can have is with ourselves, yet so many of us struggle to accept ourselves just as we are. We constantly try to 'fit in' and attach to anyone or anything, just for that connection we so desperately seek, even if such connections do not serve us or meet our needs. Instead we sacrifice our true selves and lose our authenticity along the way. If you are struggling with identity and your own relationship (s) then I can help you reconnect to your authentic self through self-exploration to rediscover the real you and help regain your true sovereignty.

Thank you for visiting my profile. Sometimes we may feel like our energy has taken a dip and we can’t seem to shift our low mood. Perhaps we feel anxious and unable to move forward, and we may feel stuck for any number of reasons.

I provide a professional, warm and non-judgemental counselling service for anyone who is experiencing mental health difficulties. I am a pluralistic counsellor which put simply, means that I work with what best suits you, the client.

Throughout our lives we all have difficulties and stressors that present themselves for various reasons. Loss, relationship difficulties and unexpected events that keep us awake at night and impact our daily lives, exposing us to illnesses such as depression and anxiety. The affects of these illnesses can never be underestimated as many suffer greatly from a loss of control over their own lives, which stops us living satisfying and fulfilling lives. Please know you are not on your own!

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.
