Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
My stand on 'women's issues' has not really changed over the years. Originally these views were thought to be feminist. Very feminist. Now those exact same views are seen as more traditionalist! I have always believed in justice, respect and equality, for all human beings. For me, I am a human being first. Woman, second. Perhaps you are a human being first and a man second? I celebrate both! In my opinion each person is equal to every other and if we explore, understand and fill our needs - the same needs whatever our sex, colour or any other demographic - we will be happy. If we do not…. Fullstop. This belief is NVC or Non Violent (or Compassionate) Communication, organized by Dr Marshall Rosenberg in action. As women, our experience of the world is uniquely female. As men it is male. Man and woman stand at the two ends of this spectrum and in between are a thousand iterations of humanity waiting to be explored! I am wide open to hearing your story.

Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
I provide comprehensive counselling support for individuals navigating a wide range of personal, emotional, and situational challenges. My practice specializes in helping clients manage the pressures of perfectionism, high-achievement, and burnout, while offering dedicated space for navigating women’s issues (including perimenopause, care giving, and patriarchy), and the unique complexities of ADHD or neurodivergence. I offer compassionate guidance for those experiencing mild depression, anxiety, low mood, or profound loneliness, helping you build self-compassion and emotional regulation strategies. Additionally, I support individuals walking through major life disruptions and hardships, including life or career transitions, divorce and relationship strain, grief, and loss of direction. No matter the challenge, my goal is to help you slow down, understand your patterns, and build a more intentional, resilient path forward.

Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Many of the women I work with are high-achieving, deeply self-aware and quietly exhausted. They are the ones holding things together at work, at home and for everyone around them. Underneath the competence is often imposter syndrome, people-pleasing, perfectionism, a hard inner critic or a sense of not being allowed to take up space. These are not personality traits. They are subconscious patterns, usually formed early, often reinforced by the cultural messaging women absorb about who they are supposed to be. RTT works directly at that level. We find the original moment a belief was formed and update the meaning attached to it. The work is online via Zoom and confidential. Many clients describe finally feeling like themselves within the first few sessions.

Women often face unique emotional challenges related to relationships, caregiving roles, life transitions, identity, and personal expectations. These experiences can create stress, emotional exhaustion, and a sense of imbalance. I offer a compassionate and supportive space where women can speak openly and feel understood without judgment.
My approach focuses on emotional wellbeing, self-worth, boundary setting, and personal empowerment. Through gentle counselling and reflective support, women are guided toward greater clarity, confidence, and balance while honoring their individual life journeys.
