Empowerment Feminist Therapy: How I Help Women and Girls Thrive
In my practice, I focus on helping women and girls navigate life’s challenges by using Empowerment Feminist Therapy (EFT). This approach is all about understanding the unique experiences women face in a world where gender plays a big role in how we are treated. If you’ve ever felt like society’s expectations or the way you’ve been treated has impacted your mental health, EFT could be the right approach for you.
Why Focus on Women and Girls?
You might wonder why there’s a need to focus specifically on counseling women and girls. The reason is simple: while men and women share the same world, their experiences in it can be very different. From the moment we’re born, society shapes us based on gender, telling us how to act, dress, and even think. These expectations can lead to challenges that impact our mental health in ways that are unique to women.
For instance, women are more likely to face issues like unequal pay, sexual harassment, and the pressure to conform to certain beauty standards. These pressures can lead to anxiety, depression, and a feeling of being overwhelmed. Empowerment Feminist Therapy addresses these specific challenges, helping you understand how these societal influences affect your mental health and wellbeing.
How Empowerment Feminist Therapy Can Help You
Empowerment Feminist Therapy is designed to help you take control of your life and feel empowered, no matter what challenges you’re facing. Here’s how:
- Understanding Your Experience: We’ll work together to explore how societal expectations and gender roles have influenced your life. This can help you see that some of the struggles you face aren’t your fault—they’re often the result of the pressures society places on women.
- Building Your Strengths: Instead of focusing on what’s “wrong,” EFT helps you discover and build on your strengths. We’ll identify the positive qualities you have and find ways to use them to overcome challenges.
- Reclaiming Your Power: This approach helps you take back control over your life. Whether you’ve been made to feel powerless in relationships, at work, or in society, we’ll work on strategies to help you assert yourself and feel more confident.
- Creating Lasting Change: EFT isn’t just about feeling better in the moment; it’s about creating lasting change. We’ll look at how you can make changes in your life that align with your true self, free from the constraints of societal expectations.
Why I Use Empowerment Feminist Therapy
I specialise in working with women and girls because I believe that you deserve a therapist who understands the unique challenges you face. Traditional therapy methods can sometimes miss the bigger picture, focusing too much on individual issues without considering the societal factors that contribute to them. That’s why I use EFT—it recognises that many of the struggles women face are deeply connected to societal norms and expectations.
By working together in a way that’s collaborative and supportive, I aim to help you not only heal from past traumas or current stresses but also feel empowered to live your life in a way that feels true to you.
