Their goal is to move beyond simply coping with their symptoms and build a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

I strongly believe that every person has a purpose and set of skills/strengths they bring into this world; however, that sometimes inconvenient/negative circumstances or unhealthy relationships can derail this potential by planting a seed of self-doubt into our minds. Regardless of where it applies to an individual's life (e.g. marriage, career, etc.), it would be my privilege to help clients along the way to achieving their life goals/vision by helping them identify and deal with any stumbling blocks in their way. Life loves to throw curveballs (it wouldn't be interesting if it didn't), but I'd love to prepare my clients for them!

I believe that every person has great worth and value; each one is born for purpose; within every person is a rich deposit of skills. However, ‘life happens’; situations arise that cloud one’s vision causing one to feel ‘just not worth it’. One doubts oneself and gets bogged down. If that sounds like you, connect with me today and let’s journey together. You are worth it! Samway Consulting (formerly Samway Counselling Services) is an online counselling service that aims to create a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to talk, unpack and unload.

Many of the men and couples I work with are living with anxiety, burnout, loneliness, intimacy concerns, or relationship challenges. Some are navigating identity changes, open relationships, desire differences, or questions around belonging. I support gay and queer men and LGBTQIA+ couples to strengthen their mental health, build confidence, and deepen connection with themselves and each other. My approach is sex positive and kink aware, grounded in consent and emotional safety. Our work focuses on understanding what is getting in the way, easing shame, and creating steadier, more meaningful ways of relating.

Experiential therapy can help you get back to a calm, confident self, sooner. I am a lived experience and neurodivergent therapist, trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Coherence Therapy and training in EMDR. These approaches engage the brain's natural memory reconsolidation process, which allows for transformation of traumatic memories to alleviate the distress that comes with them, such as anxiety, people-pleasing patterns, physical tension, self-sabotage, and depression. These aha! moments in experiential therapy can help us develop a new relationship with ourselves and profoundly shift our old reaction patterns.

The first step is often the hardest... Find clarity in what you want, be able to express yourself, feel motivated, and explore what positive relationships look like. Have fears, hesitations, confusion and the past been holding you back from contentment in life, career or relationships? Be in the present moment and become more aware of your thoughts. This provides immense relief from fear-based thoughts and gives you clarity, as the mental clutter shifts. This is helpful for all areas of life - career, purpose, relationships, stress, anxiety and so on. Available in ANY location Australia wide via video call.

When should a person seek therapy for low self-esteem?
When self-esteem problems begin to disrupt the healthy daily functioning of an individual, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not engaging with friends for fear of being judged, not completing work assignments because they don’t think they’re capable, or not finding romantic love because they don’t feel they’re worthy of it, a therapist may be able to help.
What are the signs of low self-esteem?
Low self-esteem is a common issue that can affect a person's mental and emotional well-being. Some common signs of low self-esteem include negative self-talk, perfectionism, social anxiety, difficulty making decisions, an inability to set boundaries, people-pleasing, and others. A lack of belief in oneself or one’s abilities and a feeling of not being worthy or deserving underlie most of these characteristics.
What causes low self-esteem?
Feelings of low self-worth can begin in childhood or adulthood. Being raised by a highly critical parent or growing up feeling constant disapproval can stay with a person well into adulthood. Specific issues in adulthood may also be a cause of low self-esteem. An unhappy relationship, a dysfunctional work or school experience can impact a person’s feelings of self-worth.
How can therapy improve self-esteem?
Therapists can help identify negative thought patterns that keep the client stuck in a loop of destructive self-talk and develop coping skills to change the voice in their head. A therapist can help with goal-setting, so that clients are better able to stay on task and build confidence from successfully completing work they’re proud of. Coaching a client on how to better communicate can improve relationships. These skills can result in someone with low self-esteem feeling empowered and living with less fear.
