Being human can be complicated. We carry old stories, grief, family patterns, cultural expectations, relationship wounds, anxiety and the pressure to keep going, often without realising how deeply these experiences shape the way we think, feel and relate to ourselves and others.
I work with individuals and couples who want to understand themselves beyond surface-level coping. Therapy with me is a space to make sense of what feels tangled, put language to experiences that have felt difficult to explain and create relationships and ways of living that feel more honest, connected and sustainable.

Hello, I'm Julia. My style is conversational, where we can gain a greater sense of your preferences, hopes and befriend all parts of yourself. I approach counselling as a place for genuine connection and meaning making. This means I work with you to explore how you make sense of your life and experiences. I have qualifications in anti-oppressive and non-pathologising approaches. I am deeply informed by social justice and critical theory. I welcome all bodies, genders and identities, and I work to problematise the privileges I hold as a cis, able-bodied woman on stolen land.

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!

Self Esteem Therapists
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.
