Why women need psychotherapy now, more than ever
Female identity has been under fire for quite some time now. With ever changing roles, the onslaught of social media and the obliteration of the ‘having it all’ myth, women can benefit from depth psychotherapy now more than ever.
Single, not sorry
Ever felt that being single is somehow wrong? In our society, it is often seen as more acceptable to be part of a malfunctioning couple, rather than be on your own…
“You’re so sensitive…”
Do you find yourself soaking up the energy and emotions of others, to the point you sometimes feel quite exhausted? Or maybe others tell you that you are ‘too sensitive’?
I’m talking to my therapist but it’s not working…tried tapping?
Struggling with weight management, anxiety, low mood, trauma or reducing stress? It could by that EFT (emotional freedom techniques), or tapping, is the answer for you.
What’s the point of journalling?
I’ve tended to be a bit sceptical about journalling up until now, mainly because I tended to see it as a something else I’d need to find time for during the day.
Pregnancy loss – the loneliest grief
Social media was alive last week with the graphic images of a mother whale carrying her dead calf, as she grieved the loss of her baby. In contrast to that public display, we still have a long way to go in our society, when it comes to supporting women who lose babies.
“Is this it?” – the slug of the quarter life crisis
If you’re in your mid 20s-early 30s, you might recognise the feelings of insecurity, doubt and uncertainty associated with a quarter life crisis.
Do you suffer from ‘impostor syndrome’?
Are you familiar with the sense of feeling like a fraud, or as though you are not good enough in your place of work? Women tend to be more prone to impostor syndrome, but there are ways to conquer it.
What’s left after the empty nest?
Although the focus at the time is more on those that have flown the nest – those young adults so familiar to us – many mothers also describe it as a huge shake up of their identity, with a lot of unanswered questions around what’s next.
What really happens in female anger management therapy
Most people tend to think that coming to counselling to work on anger means that as client and counsellor we will work on ways to “push back” or tame the angry feelings. This isn’t really the case, and often it is more complex for female clients.
