Self Esteem Psychologists and Therapists in Melbourne, VIC
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!

You may also be questioning how ADHD fits into your identity, or working through the impact it’s had on your self-esteem.
I offer supportive, neuroaffirming therapy for ADHD/AuDHD adults, focused on self-understanding, self-compassion, and finding tools that work. My approach blends strategies you can use in your day-to-day - for (e.g.) executive functioning, emotions, sensory needs - with deeper work around identity, shame, and processing past experiences through a new lens.

It's my job to make myself redundant with clients, to help them end their work with me equipped with insights & skills to better manage emotional challenges.
I use EMDR to treat trauma, mostly seeing survivors of childhood, military, family and sexual trauma. EMDR can also be helpful with workplace & social anxiety.
In addition, I counsel adults with symptoms of autism such as rigid thinking, communication challenges and excess emotional distress.
I offer a space where challenging thoughts can be explored safely - with courage, imagination & some humour, but no nonsense. If the client agrees with my assessment, we go from there.

I feel passionate about helping people make meaningful, sustainable, and healthy changes in their lives. I aim to work respectfully and collaboratively with people so that clients build their own independence and develop ways to manage life stressors more effectively, in addition to their own thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

I generally work on a wide range of mental health and life issues and the approaches I work with are all evidence-based interventions.

I am super passionate about my work as a Counsellor after many years of working in the corporate world left me searching for a more fulfilling and meaningful career. I find that so many of my clients echo this search – in addition to wanting to address their day-to-day life struggles – they are searching for something more. And this is where I love to be, fully attentive, empathising with my clients but most of all working alongside them to explore ways of improving all aspects of their lives, be that work, relationships, childhood attachment wounds or trauma.
