When stress, anxiety, or past trauma begin to take over, it can feel exhausting and confusing — like your mind won’t slow down, your body won’t relax, and you’ve somehow lost touch with yourself. Many people I work with describe feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode, even when they’re doing their best to cope. I offer a gentle, grounded approach to counselling that helps you feel safe in your body again, calms your nervous system, & helps you reconnect with yourself. My work integrates a mindfulness & somatic (body awareness) based approach that recognises stress & trauma are held in the body, heart, & mind.

Anxiety, Panic, Stress, Trauma, PTSD, and OCD are my areas of focus. I also have significant experience in working with ADHD/Autism. If you are looking for a psychologist who deeply understands these experiences, who provides a tailored approach, and can balance empathy with directness, we will be a great fit. Our work together will focus on resolving root causes rather than just applying temporary fixes. This may involve addressing past hurts, problem solving current barriers, or building new skills for the future. I work with both children aged 8+ and adults.

Does your child come home from school and unleash a meltdown worthy of an Oscar? Homework battles? Friendship dramas? Or maybe it’s you—lying awake at 2am, overthinking everything, and surviving on caffeine. You’ve tried pep talks, deep breaths, and maybe even bribery… but nothing sticks. What you really want is less chaos, more calm, and to feel like yourself (and your family) again. We get it—we’re parents and humans too, and we know life doesn’t always go to plan.

Maybe you're coping on the outside, but on the inside, you feel tense, on edge, anxious, overwhelmed or just not quite able to settle. Many people I work with are fully functioning and managing life day-to-day, though they feel exhausted and burnt out by what they’re holding onto internally. Often, this is shaped by past experiences that still influence how their mind and body respond. Their responses feel more reactive then considered... I help you to identify and make sense of these feelings and patterns and assist you to gently shift them, so you can feel steadier, more connected, in control and at ease in your day-to-day life.

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.
