Maybe you've been running on empty for a while. Maybe anxiety has been quietly taking up more space than it should, or a big life change has left you feeling unsteady. Perhaps you're the person everyone else leans on — and you're not sure who you get to lean on.
If something here resonates, I'm glad.
I work with individuals and families navigating anxiety, burnout, ADHD, life transitions, and the particular weight that comes with parenting and career pressures. Whatever is bringing you here, you don't have to figure it out alone. I work with clients from remote communities to the city, appreciating these diverse contexts.

Hi, I'm Curtis, a psychologist and psychotherapist working from the Blue Mountains, in-person and online.
Often the things that bring us to therapy are the very things we've spent years trying to outrun. Sometimes it's a crisis. Sometimes just a quiet sense that something isn't working. Whatever brings you here, I want you to know that what you're experiencing makes sense, and that real change is possible. My approach is integrative and holistic. I work with you as a whole person, your inner world, your body, your relationships, your sense of meaning and identity. I target core issues, rather than treating a set of symptoms.

I understand how school, work, family relationships and systems can shape wellbeing, self-confidence, identity and the ways we learn to cope.
Before becoming a psychologist, I spent many years working in education, mental health and disability inclusion settings. That background shapes how I practise: thoughtful, practical and trauma-aware. Together, we make sense of what's happening, understand the patterns underneath it, and develop ways forward that are compassionate, realistic and sustainable.

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.
