Women's Issues
Liz Frings
Counsellor/Therapist, PG Diploma Person-Centred Psychotherapy. EMDR Accredited
Women's issues in therapy can encompass a wide range of experiences, including:
Reproductive and hormonal concerns (pregnancy, postpartum, miscarriage, infertility, menopause)
Body image and eating concerns
Sexual health and intimacy
Gender-based trauma (sexual assault, domestic violence, harassment)
Work-life balance and the "mental load"
Perfectionism and people-pleasing patterns
Navigating patriarchal expectations and societal pressures
Identity and self-worth beyond traditional roles
Relationship dynamics and boundary-setting
Motherhood challenges (or choosing not to be a mother)
Career discrimination and the glass ceiling
Aging as a woman in a youth-focused culture
These issues often intersect and compound, creating complex emotional landscapes that benefit from therapeutic support.
How Therapy Helps
Validating Your Experience
One of the most powerful aspects of therapy is having your experiences validated. So many women have been told they're "too sensitive," "overreacting," or that their struggles aren't legitimate. A good therapist—especially one who specializes in women's issues—understands the unique challenges you face and affirms that your feelings are real and reasonable.
Breaking Free from People-Pleasing
Many women are socialized from childhood to prioritize others' needs over their own, to be agreeable, and to avoid conflict. Therapy helps you recognize these patterns, understand where they come from, and learn to set healthy boundaries without guilt. You can explore what you actually want, rather than what you think you should want.
Processing Gender-Based Trauma
Whether it's sexual assault, domestic violence, workplace harassment, or more subtle forms of discrimination and microaggressions, gender-based trauma leaves deep wounds. Therapies like EMDR and trauma-focused CBT can help process these experiences, reduce symptoms like hypervigilance and flashbacks, and help you reclaim your sense of safety and power.
Navigating Hormonal and Life Transitions
From puberty to pregnancy to perimenopause and beyond, hormonal changes can significantly impact mood, anxiety, and sense of self. Therapy provides support during these transitions, helping you understand what's happening in your body, manage symptoms, and adjust to the changes without losing yourself in the process.
Healing Body Image and Eating Concerns
Women face relentless pressure about appearance, weight, and aging. Therapy can help you develop a healthier relationship with your body, challenge unrealistic beauty standards, address disordered eating patterns, and find self-worth that isn't tied to how you look.
Addressing the Mental Load
Even in 2025, women often carry the invisible burden of managing household tasks, emotional labor, and family scheduling. Therapy helps you recognize this imbalance, communicate your needs, and redistribute responsibilities without feeling guilty for not "doing it all."
Exploring Identity Beyond Traditional Roles
Whether you're a mother questioning your identity beyond motherhood, a woman choosing not to have children, someone navigating career ambitions alongside family expectations, or exploring what it means to age as a woman—therapy offers space to define yourself on your own terms.
Strengthening Your Voice
Many women struggle to advocate for themselves, especially in medical settings, at work, or in relationships. Therapy helps you find and strengthen your voice, practice assertiveness, and learn to communicate your needs confidently.
Processing Reproductive Experiences
Pregnancy loss, infertility, difficult births, abortion decisions, and menopause can all bring complex grief, trauma, and identity shifts. Therapy provides compassionate support for processing these deeply personal experiences without judgment.
Building Authentic Self-Worth
When society constantly sends messages about what women should be, do, or look like, it's easy to lose touch with your authentic self. Therapy helps you peel back those external expectations and reconnect with your inherent worth—not based on productivity, appearance, or caregiving, but simply because you exist.

Women's Issues
Marianna Trezza -The Growing mindset
Counsellor/Therapist, MA (Hons), Adv Dip. Counsel. & Psychoth.,Dip. Hypnoth., X-Cultural Adaptation Coun. Reg. BACP 572613
Many women spend years adapting to expectations, responsibilities and roles that slowly take them further away from themselves.
Over time, this can lead to emotional exhaustion, chronic stress, anxiety, people pleasing, loss of identity or the feeling of constantly having to hold everything together for everyone else.
For women living abroad, these pressures are often intensified by the emotional complexity of living between cultures, languages and different versions of oneself.
Many of the women I support are highly empathic, capable and caring toward others, while internally feeling disconnected from their own needs, rhythm, voice or sense of belonging.
My work offers a warm, reflective and holistic space to explore emotional wellbeing, nervous system regulation, identity, self-worth, belonging and authenticity.
I integrate psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, EFT, embodiment, lifestyle medicine, reflective dialogue and nature-based approaches to support women in reconnecting with themselves in a gentler, more grounded and sustainable way.

Women's Issues
Rachel Bates
Registered Psychotherapist, M Phil - Counselling & Psychotherapy; M A Psychology
A woman is usually a daughter, a sister, a friend, a wife, a mother, a daughter-in-law, a grandmother and often finds herself playing a variety of roles, at the same time. She reproduces, is a guardian and a carer and sometimes does not pay sufficient attention to her own needs. Thus a woman through her life span may be affected by multiple issues and if not addressed, experience depression and anxiety.
