I work with clients who may be struggling with relationships, childhood trauma, self-esteem, confidence.
I have been working on myself for the past 6 years and healing childhood trauma to make me the best version of myself I can be. Since starting my own private practice to assist women with these issues, I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing women and help them on this journey called life and bring them back to themselves to remember who they are before the world took that away from them. Life throws us curveballs and it is not until we sit back and look do we realise how much it affects our every day life, relationships, work and the list goes on. These deep rooted problems will trigger us before we know why.

We all carry stories about who we are & how our experiences have shaped us. Sometimes those stories feel limiting or out of step with the person we want to become. I support children, young people, & adults to move through challenges using a blend of narrative therapy, kinesiology, & mind–body approaches. Together we explore what’s getting in the way, strengthen what’s already working, & create new possibilities for how you want to live. I have extensive experience supporting young people with school, learning, & emotional regulation, as well as adults navigating relationships, mental health, parenting, work & life transitions.

I'm always grateful for the opportunity to provide support, as I'm aware of the bravery that therapy takes, being vulnerable in session is immense. All clinicians at the clinic I run aim to work in a non-directive, client-centred way, meaning the client sets their own treatment goals and we're just the support that holds difficult or overwhelming emotions where needed. This allows the client to drive their own therapy and shows them that they can create a better life. I am currently taking face-to-face clients with immediate availability.

Many of the people I work with are dealing with the impacts of childhood experiences - things like sexual abuse, emotional neglect, or simply not getting the kind of support they needed early on. These early dynamics can leave a lasting mark, even if life looks fine from the outside. But therapy doesn’t need to start with a clear story. Some people come in just knowing something isn’t quite right. My approach tends to suit people who’ve found short-term strategies helpful but limited, or who’ve had trouble feeling connected in past therapies. We go at your pace, and take the time needed to get to the heart of things.

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.
