Female Therapists in Mowbray, WC
Counselling provides a safe space to explore the problems that trouble all of us on this journey through life. We address behaviours, emotions and thoughts that are no longer serving us or which prevent us to optimally perform in different areas of our lives. This unfolding and unraveling may ultimately lead to improved relationships, new coping mechanisms, increased sense of self awareness, and personal development. My approach is warm and collaborative and I value the therapeutic relationship as a tool for meaningful change.

I have been practicing as a psychologist for twenty years. I work with young adults (age 18-35) and adolescents (age 11+). My areas of interest include anxiety, depression, loss/grief, self-esteem, identity, relationship difficulties, stress, burnout, ADHD, parenting and personal transitions. It takes bravery for a person to seek help, and it is so important that the therapist exudes warmth and acceptance. I find it is so helpful for people to talk through challenging issues in order to feel supported, and to find a way through.

Everyone has ups and downs in their journey of life, but sometimes you need additional support to navigate particular low points. Your thinking may be cyclical, so addressing the problem from multiple angles, with various lenses, can be the breakthrough that is needed. I work with a Humanistic and Positive Psychology framework that sees you as whole and focuses on your strengths. You are not your trauma, your grief, or your diagnosis. I want to help you to improve your quality of life and to fulfill your potential. I also use Resilience coaching to look at your mental, physical and emotional needs, to identify growth areas.

Life presents us all with challenges. You may be entering a new phase in your life. You may see repeated patterns that negatively impact you, your work and your relationships. Perhaps the uncertainty of COVID-19 has left you contemplating your identity and seeking meaning and purpose in your place in the world. You wish to make sense of the influences of belief, race, class or other systems and the accompanying feelings these evoke. However much (or little) you desire a change or a fresh perspective on life, it's natural to want someone to help you navigate the discomfort and achieve your goals.

If you are feeling unable to cope, or are struggling to break out of old habits or self-defeating patterns, you don't have to navigate the journey to well-being alone. Together, we can find and integrate the tools you need to reconnect with a valued life, and to build a healthier, more compassionate relationship with yourself. I am well equipped to help individuals with a variety of conditions including mood disorders, eating disorders, personality disorders, and the autism spectrum; however, you do not need a diagnosis to need support. We all get stuck in unhelpful ways of thinking and doing; it's part of being human.

Have you been feeling stuck? Anxious? Depressed? Overwhelmed and exhausted? Sometimes we don't even know what we are feeling at all. People start counselling for various reasons, all of which are completely valid. These could range from anything between unpacking and healing childhood trauma, to maintaining healthy habits and reaching personal goals. Some of us need a little more support to manage the symptoms of mental health disorders, while others want to develop better boundaries or improve relationships.

I focus on couples and individuals experiencing relational and emotional distress. My couple work is a structured approach to build hope, trust and connection whilst guiding the couple into more productive ways of communicating and connecting which allow their needs to be met more effectively. I use primarily Emotionally Focused Therapy and borrowing also from the work of Hedy Shleifer and Imago attachment principles. This is deep work aimed at moving the couple away from pain and negativity, as they are guided on an empowering journey of healing and self discovery.

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.
