My ten years experience has included helping people with depression, anxiety, family and relationship issues, low self-esteem, trauma, addictions and grief.
I use ISTDP (Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy), a collaborative, active form of psychodynamic psychotherapy to resolve unconscious emotional conflicts which cause everyday problems. This trauma-informed approach uses information from both your mind and body, so that positive changes begin early in the therapy and the benefits are lasting.

You might be feeling stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure how to bridge the gap between you and your partner—or even within yourself.

You may be longing for more clarity, connection, or emotional safety. Whether you come individually or as a couple, I help you explore your inner world, understand patterns, and move toward more authentic, compassionate relationships—with others and yourself.

People come to therapy for a range of reasons. There might be recurrent problems in relationships or work, there might be disturbing feelings within, or behaviours that are defeating or destructive. Many people find that their usual ways of coping don’t seem to work for them anymore. Whatever the issue, undertaking psychotherapy is an opportunity for you to really understand the underlying drivers of the problem, in the context of your unique life history, and to find a way to transform your suffering. New possibilities for living with greater freedom and creativity might then appear.

Being overwhelmed, uncertain or in pain, is your unconscious saying it's time for a change.
Frequently, though, working out just how to do that, can also be overwhelming in itself, and might only be possible with an ally from outside your normal environment .....So ...
What I offer is the result of many years of experiences, not necessarily welcome at the time, but it does turn out to be really worthwhile when working with people in distress, or people simply seeking change, or wanting a new (outlook on) life.
My 'speciality' would be; people who are new to therapy, and those not so new, looking for something different.

As a Gestalt psychotherapist, my work is about noticing the ways we interrupt our natural flow, the patterns that keep us from fully engaging with life, and the barriers we place between ourselves and what we truly need. I work with individuals seeking to navigate life’s complexities, including relationship challenges, attachment wounds, trauma, grief and loss, and the search for deeper meaning. My approach is also shaped by my multicultural background, which has given me a deep appreciation for the ways our cultural roots and early environments influence how we see the world and relate to others.

The mind and body are inseparable systems. When one heals, the other follows.
The mind and body are inseparable systems, constantly influencing how we think, feel, and act. When stress or uncertainty take hold, neural pathways narrow, and clarity fades.
Through neuroscience-informed counselling and integrative coaching, I help you restore balance to your nervous system and strengthen the neural connections that support calm, confidence, and emotional intelligence. This is not simply about coping; it’s about rewiring the brain for long-term resilience.

There are many great therapy options available, here’s a few reasons why you might like to work with me. My approach is grounded in Gestalt psychotherapy, which differs from many conventional forms of therapy. I do not focus on analysing problems or managing symptoms, rather I work to uncover and address the deeper issues that may be contributing to your difficulties, leading to natural, meaningful and lasting change. Another important difference is accessibility. I intentionally keep my overheads low so that I can offer high-quality psychotherapy at a more affordable rate.

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.
