Jimi Katsis
Registered Psychotherapist, MA psych, Dip SW
"Women's issues" is a broad term, but what I often see are patterns that get socially reinforced in women: the pressure to be everything to everyone, the difficulty saying no, the guilt when you prioritize yourself, the exhaustion of managing everyone else's emotions while neglecting your own.
Maybe it's the perfectionism that's driving you into the ground. The relationship patterns where you keep choosing partners who need fixing. The people-pleasing that means everyone gets your best self except you. The sense that your worth comes from what you do for others, not from who you are.
Or maybe it's more specific: processing past abuse, navigating difficult family dynamics, the impact of motherhood on your identity, career struggles in male-dominated fields, or simply feeling like you've lost yourself somewhere along the way.
Whatever brings you in, we work to understand the patterns underneath. Not just "women are socialized this way" as an explanation, but what specifically happened in your life that taught you these particular patterns. Then we can start changing them.
You don't have to keep carrying everyone else while ignoring yourself. That's not strength—it's survival. And you deserve better than survival.

Emma Poxon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA Person-Centred Experiential Counselling
Although I am a non-binary therapist, I was raised as female and often exist being perceived as female. This means I have a lot of insight into women's issues and the unique challenges that can be experienced. We can explore what you have experienced without fear of it being "too much". Therapy is a space wherein you can say and do anything, and I am here to be your support throughout this, allowing the pain to have a space to dissipate in. You are not a problem to be fixed, my aim as your therapist is to try to provide the right conditions to allow you to explore whatever you want to bring to therapy to support your growth. This isn't a therapeutic approach wherein I will set a treatment plan or tell you what to do. We will work together as a partnership rather than me taking away your autonomy. I absolutely love the work I do, it is the biggest privilege being let into people’s personal worlds and seeing the immense growth of my clients. I hope to hear from you soon!

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.

Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
women's issues encompass a wide range of challenges that affect our physical, emotional and psychological well-being. These issues may arise from societal expectations, gender roles, discrimination, trauma and personal experiences. Gender based violence includes physical, emotional and sexual abuse. This can occur in various settings, such as domestic relationships, workplaces and public spaces. The impact of GBV on women's mental health can lead to anxiety, depression and PTSD. Body image and self-esteem due to societal standards of beauty often place immense pressure on women to conform to unrealistic body ideals. This can result in body image issues, eating disorders and low self-esteem. Reproductive health issues such as menstrual health, pregnancy, childbirth and menopause are significant aspects of our overall wellbeing. Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) endometriosis and infertility can have a substantial emotional and psychological impact. Women often face challenges in balancing our professional and personal lives. We may experience stress related to career advancements, workplace discrimination and the expectations of caregiving roles at home. The struggle to achieve work-life balance can lead to burnout and mental health concerns. Cultural norms and societal expectations can influence women's life choices, including marriage, motherhood and career paths. These pressures can create conflicts between personal desires and societal demands, leading to stress and identity crises. Combining humanistic and trauma-informed approaches provides a comprehensive framework for addressing women's issues in counselling. This integration involves conducting a thorough assessment, working collaboratively with my clients to set realistic and meaningful goals. Empowering you to take an active role in your healing journey and prioritise your needs and preferences, tailoring interventions to my client's unique experiences and strengths , use techniques to address specific issues and promote personal growth.
