Clients will be able to gain a greater understanding of past events in connection to current days worries, traumas, difficulties and emotional and mental health challenges. Through mapping out the concerns that are troubling you and reflecting upon these difficulties in relation to yourself, your experiences and close relationships, different opportunities for moving forward can become possible. Many of my clients have complex issues, which they have not been able to make sense of, for understandable reasons. This respectful and appreciative space can allow you time to process things, and to re-engage with hope again.

Do you feel like a pressure cooker ready to explode? Do you feel lost and that every way you turn issues arise? Are you getting angry at people for no reason? Or feeling so down and desperate you don’t know which way to turn? It can be overwhelming sometimes even thinking about asking for help when as a culture we are supposed to be able to cope with everyday pressures. Life changing experiences and challenges such as loss, trauma or redundancy can cause unbelievable stresses on an already stressful life. It is all to easy to become stuck in a rut or to begin to struggle with daily life with all the competing pressures we face.

Hi, I’m Hazel, thanks for looking at my page. I understand that the choice of profiles on here can feel overwhelming so I want to give you a sense of who I am and how I can help. After an unusual and difficult childhood, I often felt anxious, scared and at odds with the world. As an adult, I came to counselling circuitously after a series of unfulfilling jobs and false starts whilst raising two boys as a single mother. I am friendly, down to earth, a little odd and alternative which helps me to recognise how each of us sees and experiences the world differently.

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.
