I’m a registered, LGBTQ+ affirming, and culturally sensitive psychologist who specialises in supporting clients across a wide spectrum of anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood-related difficulties. Many copes by turning their feelings inward, which can lead to longer-term emotional pain. There are often complex reasons we feel the way we do, and these can be difficult to articulate. These experiences may stem from past trauma, growing up challenges, or the cumulative impact of unprocessed emotions. Taking the first step can be difficult. There are effective ways to build resilience, and I’m here to support you through that process.

My name is Samantha, I'm an experienced counsellor and accredited Mental Health Social Worker. My work focuses on supporting adults who are feeling exhausted, stuck or overwhelmed by carrying the impacts of relational trauma and how it has shaped your relationship with yourself, others and your sense of safety in the world. Many clients I work with have experienced trauma in some form and are often burnt out by the demands of life in survival mode. I help clients to feel more grounded and connected, better understand their experiences and reduce feelings of shame and self-blame so they can live with greater ease and choice.

Many of the men and couples I work with have spent years trying to hold everything together. They may be living with anxiety, burnout, loneliness, relationship difficulties, or questions about identity and belonging. Some are navigating coming out later in life, open relationships, intimacy concerns, or changing family dynamics. Others simply want a place where they do not have to explain what it means to be a gay or queer man. Together we explore what is keeping them stuck, reduce the impact of shame and self-criticism, and build greater confidence, connection and emotional wellbeing.

Hi, I'm Aiden. I'm interested in how you experience your life: what troubles you, what matters to you, and how you make sense of what you've been through. I want to get to know you as a person and understand how things fit together for you. My style is warm, direct and conversational. I ask questions, share observations and explore patterns with you. Sometimes I'll challenge an idea; sometimes we'll spend time with something that needs more thought. We can think things through together and work out what you want to do about them.

My name is Natalie, I am a neurodivergent counsellor trained in experiential approaches including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Coherence Therapy, and EMDR. These approaches engage the brain’s memory reconsolidation (or memory updating) process, transforming traumatic memories and unhelpful beliefs to alleviate distress including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, burnout, and self-sabotage. Updating memories in experiential therapy can shift old reaction patterns, creating “aha!” moments of new insight and clarity. People often (re)discover a calm, confident, curious self, a place from which meaningful change begins.

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!

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.
