Women's Counselling, Motherhood & Life Transitions
Perhaps life looks fine from the outside, but you no longer feel quite like yourself. Something has changed — in your relationships, your identity, your sense of direction — and the ways you usually cope no longer work.
For many women, this happens during significant life transitions: pregnancy, becoming a mother, navigating family life, changing careers, or reaching a point where you start asking deeper questions about who you are and what you want.
You might be struggling with the weight of expectations — from others, from society, from yourself. Or you might feel lost underneath, as if you are faking it or masking who you really are.
How counselling can help
Counselling offers a space to slow down and understand what is happening beneath the surface. Together, we can explore the patterns, pressures and experiences that have shaped how you see yourself, and consider what a more balanced and authentic life might look like for you.
My approach is Humanistic Integrative, drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic, attachment-informed, Gestalt, CBT and Jungian techniques. I work collaboratively with you to understand your experiences, relationships, patterns and needs.
What we might explore
Identity and change — making sense of who you are during times of transition.
Motherhood — finding your feet through pregnancy, postnatal experiences and the ongoing journey of being a mother.
Relationships — understanding how family dynamics and expectations shape your choices and connections.
Self-worth — working with people-pleasing, perfectionism and difficulty recognising your own needs.
Belonging — exploring cultural or family expectations and how they influence your sense of self.
Online and in-person sessions
I offer in-person counselling in Highbury & Islington, North London, and online sessions via Teams across the UK. Whether you prefer face-to-face or online therapy, we can find an approach that works for you.
