The approach I use is underpinned by a feminist ideology which is born out of my own life experience. However, I feel it is also important to say that I am not a 'man hater' and am in fact happy to be married to my husband! However, I recognise the complexity of the inequalities in our society and the impact these can have on us - including strong negative emotions and toxic relationships. I also realise, however, that your issues as a woman may not be related to this at all. Again,being a women is complex in many ways that aren't necessarily the consequence of how we stand in relation to the men in our lives. It may be that what you are bringing is more generic and unconnected to gender.  From my holistic perspective I acknowledge the connections between mind and body and the impact our social, environmental and circumstantial context can have on us - possibly contributing or causing deep distress and difficulties.   

I'd like to acknowledge here the extremity of racial inequality that still exists in our society. My service is open and welcoming to women of all ethnic backgrounds so please get in touch.
