Women's Issues
Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
Our world values masculine values over feminine, which makes it tricky being a woman in the world. We're expected to be feminine (soft, caring and submissive) and masculine (career-climbers, bread-winners), both at the same time, and all while looking fabulous. It also causes many women to try to be men, because that is what is rewarded and respected.
I work with women who are wanting and ready to empower themselves as the woman they are in the world. We explore what the feminine means to you, where it's been disowned, where it's been allowed and how to bring more of it into your body and your life.

Ruth Schmidt Neven Phd
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist and Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist
Women's issues are often framed in the context of feeling unsupported and devalued in the work and family setting . Early child and family history may have given rise to a woman not believing she has a right to make reasonable demands and to express herself. This often leads to depression and to a lowering of expectations. My focus is on helping women to find their own voice and raise the bar of expectations in their work, with parenting and with their partners.

Women's issues encompass a broad range of challenges and experiences unique to women, including but not limited to gender inequality, reproductive health, domestic violence, and societal pressures. Therapy can be a valuable resource in addressing these issues and as a woman myself I have a lived experience understanding. I provide a safe, supportive open minded and non-judgemental space for you to explore your feelings, experiences, and identity. My gender-sensitive approach can help women navigate societal expectations, challenge internalized beliefs, and develop empowering coping strategies. I can assist women in processing trauma, managing stress, improving self-esteem, and fostering healthy relationships to help gain insight, resilience, and empowerment to navigate life's complexities with greater confidence and authenticity. Please see the type of therapy I provide for a deeper understanding of how I can help.
