I’ve asked Katerina to come and to talk about a topic that can be still a bit of taboo in the wider society, yet it is in my opinion really important topic, and that is the dilemma of 30 to 40 something women who don't know if they want children or not and feel the pressure of trying to make the decision, which is for me very much a lived experience.
We’ll also touch on another challenging subject - psychosexual difficulties - and just how common they are, esp vaginismus, and how these affect women’s health, wellbeing and relationships. Katerina Georgiou is a clinical supervisor, a Gestalt psychotherapist and counsellor, a group therapist and a couples/relationship counsellor. She works in private practice and in a GP surgery, and also works extensively with professional musicians and performing artists as a registered practitioner with the British Association for Performing Arts Medicine. She has experience of delivering therapy in NHS psychiatric hospitals, prisons, universities and a range of charities. She is the author of 'How to Understand and Deal with Stress', 'How to Understand and Deal with Health Anxiety' and 'Your Mind Matters: How to Talk About Your Mental Health', published by Hachette UK.
In the area of women's health, she delivers support groups for young women in various dilemmas around motherhood, including those questioning whether they want children, those considering solo motherhood or wishing to pursue a life path that breaks from societal convention.
She also provides individual counselling to women at various stages of life, around various issues.
