Therapy For Women
Women have their personal experiences of navigating competing roles, cultural expectations and their personal goals. Empowering women to delve into their unique experiences and uncover the stories that shaped them is part of offering therapy for women—understanding how these narratives have evolved and the impact they have on their lives. Women can get caught up in roles which may need to evolve over time.
Women have been reaching out to therapists for decades. There are clinicians who specialise in working with women, and in particular want to be able to explore and navigate the unique emotional and behavioural experiences.
When working with women, therapists have to be familiar with the diverse challenges that women face today and throughout their life span.
What Is Therapy For Women?
Having the support from a therapist can help women take a perspective on their lives and explore what is and isn’t working.
Together with a therapist, women can explore ways in which they can increase their sense of purpose and meaning, through various methods such as art therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or Acceptance And Commitment Therapy – all designed to empower women in their journey towards mental well-being.
Additionally, therapy for women creates an opportunity to have open and honest conversations about issues such as gender roles, societal expectations, and cultural influences that can impact women’s mental health.
Therapy may at times be the only context where it is safe to have such conversations. Therapy for women can help women deepen their personal insights into the stories that may have kept them stuck, may help women challenge some of the norms or expectations that are no longer serving them and can support women to live fuller and more meaningful lives.
Issues Faced By Women
Women seek therapy for various reasons, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. Societal pressures, self-esteem issues, and perfectionism often contribute to emotional distress.
Life transitions like motherhood, career changes, or divorce can also create challenges. Many seek help for past abuse, boundary-setting, and people-pleasing tendencies.
Therapy offers a safe space to heal, develop coping strategies, and gain empowerment.
Using a non-judgmental and compassionate stance, therapists support women in developing their own compassionate voice, coping mechanisms and resilience in the face of life’s demands.

Our Therapists
What To Expect
Our therapists will support you and your partner through the following process:
Initial Consultation – A Space to Be Heard
The first session is all about getting to know you. It is a conversation—one where you can share what is been on your mind, what has been feeling difficult, and what you would like support with. Your therapist will ask questions about your background, experiences, and goals, but there is no pressure to answer any questions—just a safe space to begin.
Questionnaires & Onboarding Surveys - Understanding the Full Picture
To help tailor therapy to your needs, you may be asked to fill out some brief questionnaires before or after your first session. These can give insight into things like mood, stress levels, relationship patterns, or coping strategies. They are not tests—just tools to help your therapist understand how best to support you.
Individual Therapy Sessions - Your Journey at Your Own Pace
Each session is a step forward in your journey. Therapy is not just about talking—it is about discovering new ways to navigate life’s challenges, make sense of emotions, and feel like you are getting the most out of your life. Depending on your needs, sessions may focus on:
- Exploring patterns of thought and behavior
- Understanding past experiences and their impact on the present
- Developing practical coping tools
- Strengthening emotional resilience
Feedback Sessions - Reflecting and Adjusting
After the first few sessions (or after assessments), a feedback session provides space to reflect on how therapy is going. This is a chance to talk about what has been helpful, what you would like more of, and how therapy can continue to best serve you.
Intervention – The Heart of Therapy
Intervention is where meaningful change happens. Every therapy journey is unique, and the approach will be shaped around what works best for you. Some common approaches include:
🌱 Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Helping to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, reduce anxiety, and develop healthier ways to cope and new patterns of behaviour.
🧠 Schema Therapy – Deep, transformational work to uncover long-standing patterns that might be keeping you stuck, often rooted in early life experiences.
💙 Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – Learning to handle difficult emotions with self-compassion and move towards what truly matters in life.
🌊 Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) – A powerful approach for healing trauma and distressing memories, helping the brain reprocess them in a way that feels less overwhelming.
🧘 Mindfulness-Based Approaches – Building self-awareness, grounding techniques, and ways to manage stress and emotions with greater ease.
Therapy Approaches
The best type of therapy for men often depends on individual needs and preferences. Common approaches include:
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Focuses on understanding and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. Together with your therapist you will uncover your unhelpful thinking styles and find more workable and effective ways of being that are aligned with your values and the life you want to live.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Delves into past experiences and unconscious processes to understand present challenges. Findings the links between early experiences and current challenges can help to make sense of unhelpful behavioural patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is therapy for women's issues?
Therapy for women’s issues focuses on addressing the unique emotional, psychological, and physical challenges that women may face throughout their lives. This can include managing relationship difficulties, stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, body image concerns, postpartum depression, and trauma. The goal is to provide a supportive space where women can express themselves, explore their experiences, and develop coping strategies to improve their mental well-being and quality of life.
How do you tell if you need therapy?
You might need therapy if you are experiencing prolonged feelings of sadness, anxiety, or stress, or if you are struggling with personal relationships, unresolved trauma, or difficulty managing life changes. Other signs include feeling disconnected, having trouble coping with emotions, or finding that self-care and coping strategies are no longer effective. If you feel overwhelmed or unsure, seeking therapy can provide support and clarity.
Should a female see a female therapist?
While it is not necessary for a female to see a female therapist, some women may feel more comfortable discussing personal or gender-specific issues with a female therapist. The most important factor is finding a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and understood. The success of therapy relies on the connection and trust built between the therapist and the client, so it is important to choose someone who makes you feel safe and supported, regardless of their gender.
How do you tell her she needs therapy?
If you think someone may benefit from therapy, approach the conversation with empathy and care. You could say something like, “I’ve noticed you’ve been feeling really overwhelmed lately, and I think it might help to talk to someone about it.” Normalise therapy by mentioning that many people find it helpful in dealing with tough emotions or life challenges. Offer your support, and remind her that seeking therapy is a brave and positive step toward self-care and well-being.
