Psychotherapy for Women’s Health
At its core, psychotherapy for women’s health is about supporting you through the unique challenges that can arise at different stages of life. Whether you’re navigating the emotional rollercoaster of menstrual health issues, going through fertility treatment or the menopause, therapy can provide a safe space to explore your feelings, gain understanding, and find healing.
How Can Therapy Help?
For women facing fertility struggles or the complexities of IVF, or those in the perinatal period, psychotherapy can help you manage your emotional and mental health with care and compassion. Whether you're seeking help for issues around body image, relationships or trauma, psychotherapy offers a gentle way to reconnect with yourself, process your experiences, and to heal.
Let’s Talk About Sex (after) Baby
Let’s be honest, no one really talks about sex after having a baby. You get the go-ahead at six weeks, but that doesn’t mean you’re ready. In fact, it can feel like your body, your brain, and your relationship are all over the place. Maybe sex feels off, painful, or like the last thing on your list. Maybe you’re just not sure how to get back to that part of yourself. Maybe your body feels like it belongs to someone else now. Having a baby can feel like it changes everything and that includes how you feel about intimacy. In therapy you can find space to talk about the quiet stuff that can feel off-limits; the things that don’t make it into group chats or baby books.
Thriving Through The Menopause
Menopause isn’t just a biological event, it’s a transition, one that touches every part of a woman’s life. And yet, so many women arrive at this stage feeling unprepared, unseen, and unsupported. So much of menopause is quiet: the grief of changing identity, the anxiety that comes with shifting hormones, the fear of becoming invisible. For many, it’s a time when unresolved emotions rise to the surface, asking to be felt. It can also be a time of shedding expectations, redefining priorities, and reclaiming your space in the world. Knowing you don’t have to power through in silence is comforting. Therapy can help make sense of the emotional shifts, process the losses, and make room for whatever comes next, with softness, with strength, and on your own terms.
Unpacking ‘Good Girl’ Conditioning
Many women grow up learning that being good means being quiet, and selfless; always putting others first. This is what’s often called good girl conditioning. You might find it hard to say no and worry more about keeping the peace than expressing your needs. This need to please is often rooted in childhood and over time, it becomes automatic. Unlearning the ‘good girl’ script isn’t about becoming selfish, it’s about learning where those patterns came from, learning to set boundaries without shame, and making room for your own needs, too. Learning you’re allowed to take up space. You’re allowed to be honest. You’re allowed to be good to yourself.
