Self Esteem Psychologists and Therapists in Australian Capital Territory
People often feel confused, unsure or overwhelmed. Anxiety, distress, emotional pain and sadness can impede one's ability to engage fully in life. I will work with you to explore your own strengths, and build your resilience and coping skills. Together we will explore your challenges, and find ways to move forward. Safety, warmth and respect for individual differences are key to my approach. With a foundation of trauma informed practice, I use strengths based, person centred counselling, deep listening, art therapy, goal setting and mindfulness meditation. I have counselled people from all walks of life, on all life's challenges.

I work primarily with folks who’re struggling in their relationships. Mostly, I work with romantic partners, but also with mothers & daughters, business partners, friends and individuals. My clients typically have difficulties in communicating effectively with others, especially during conflict when they’re feeling all the feelings. Clients also often approach me because they’ve been betrayed in relationship. Sometimes, there’s been an affair, an experience of sexual assault, or an unexpected separation...

You're competent and capable, but your mind won't give you a break. You analyse every conversation, second-guess your decisions, and can't seem to switch off - even when you know you should be relaxing. You might look fine on the outside, but the mental noise is exhausting.
I work with professionals and thoughtful adults who get stuck in overthinking, feel depleted by the constant mental churn, and want to move forward without having to become a completely different person.

If you're a woman whose wellbeing is intertwined with what's happening in your body, your stage of life, or society's expectations, or an adult making sense of an autism or ADHD diagnosis, I'd like to hear about it.
