Beth Jackson Counselling and Coaching
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (hons), Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, Diploma in Clinical Supervision
Whether you are struggling with your self identify, anxiety, menopause, relationships or you can't really identify what the key problem is, I can provide a safe and non-judgemental space for you to talk, be heard and begin to unpick what you want to see change. Often just having someone next you you where you don't have to worry about their emotions or responses to what you say can be massively helpful. I'm here to listen and begin that journey with you today.

Ruth Mark-Roland Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Post Grad Diploma in Psychotherapy, Foundation and Diploma in Group Analysis
I offer support for women’s issues, including challenges related to identity, self-worth, relationships, life transitions, and the emotional impact of gendered experiences. This can include difficulties such as low self-esteem, people-pleasing, perfectionism, anxiety, burnout, relationship patterns, fertility concerns, pregnancy, postnatal adjustment, and the emotional impact of trauma or past relational experiences.
My approach is grounded in psychoanalytic and relational psychotherapy, providing a safe, reflective, and non-judgemental space to explore both current difficulties and the deeper emotional and relational patterns that may shape them. Together, we may consider how early attachment experiences, family dynamics, and internalised beliefs about gender, worth, and identity influence how you relate to yourself and others.
I work in a trauma-informed way, recognising the impact of relational trauma, emotional neglect, and societal expectations that can contribute to ongoing stress, disconnection, or self-criticism. Therapy offers space to explore these experiences at your own pace, supporting greater understanding and self-compassion.
I also integrate somatic awareness to help you reconnect with the body, particularly where stress, trauma, or anxiety may be held physically. Psychoeducation may be used to support insight into emotional and relational processes, and where appropriate, I may incorporate EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques / tapping) to support emotional regulation and processing.
Therapy is collaborative and paced according to your needs, supporting you to develop a stronger sense of self, healthier boundaries, and more fulfilling and authentic ways of relating to yourself and others.

Samira Gholami
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Being a woman can involve navigating complex expectations, responsibilities, and relationships while trying to maintain a strong sense of your own identity. Perhaps you're balancing career ambitions with family responsibilities, struggling to establish healthy boundaries, experiencing relationship difficulties, or feeling pressure to meet everyone else's needs before your own. You may find yourself questioning your worth, feeling emotionally exhausted, or wondering when you'll finally have space to focus on what matters most to you.
As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), I offer compassionate, affordable counselling for women navigating emotional challenges, relationship concerns, self-esteem difficulties, and significant life changes. My experience in community mental health, family support, and psychoeducation has strengthened my understanding of how personal experiences, social expectations, and family relationships can influence women's mental health and well-being.
My approach combines person-centred counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed principles to create a supportive environment where you can explore your experiences openly, without judgment or pressure to meet someone else's expectations.
I recognize that women's experiences are diverse and can be shaped by cultural identity, family traditions, gender-related expectations, relationships, and personal circumstances. Whether you're navigating relationship conflict, struggling with people-pleasing, adjusting to changes in family roles, or working toward greater independence, your individual experiences and values will guide our work together.
My professional development in Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA+) has also strengthened my awareness of how gender and intersecting aspects of identity can influence personal experiences, opportunities, and well-being.
Together, we can explore ways to strengthen your confidence, establish healthier boundaries, improve communication, develop emotional resilience, and reconnect with your individual needs, strengths, and aspirations.
You deserve relationships where your voice is valued, choices that reflect your authentic self, and opportunities to prioritize your own well-being without guilt.
I offer affordable counselling in English and Farsi and would welcome the opportunity to support you in building greater self-understanding, emotional balance, and confidence as you navigate life's challenges on your own terms.

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.
