I help individuals struggling with perfectionism, burnout, anxiety, overthinking, ADHD, depression, relationship struggles, and low self-esteem.
I use evidence-based treatments, but I also understand everyone is unique and one treatment does not fit all. We will work together to determine what works best for you and what does not work. I value and encourage your feedback while we figure it out together. I'm here to make the therapeutic process comfortable and informative so you can reach your goals.

Hi! My name is Ray and I support clients that feel overwhelmed, stuck and disconnected from themselves who need a space to slow down, make sense of their emotions, and find steadier ground.

With a trauma‑informed, humanistic, and strengths‑based approach I aim to help clients understand what’s happening inside them, develop practical coping strategies and reconnect with their values and direction.

You will set the direction for our work and I will walk alongside you, as we identify and work on the strategies and actions that support you the best to build the life you want.

Life can look perfectly fine on the outside, while you're stuck in patterns you don't quite understand. I work with adults who grew up feeling unseen, criticised or controlled. I understand the unspoken rules many men grow up with about their emotions, often finding themselves shutting down, feeling numb or distant. We often overlook how these are simply natural adaptive responses formed in early childhood. I work with individuals feeling disconnected in their relationships, where one partner is reluctant to try while the other suffers in silence, through to couples caught in recurrent conflict and at their last resort.

You might be here because you're looking for relief — from the weight of what happened or went unmet in the past, the pull of old patterns, or a relationship that keeps hitting the same wall. Perhaps you feel at the mercy of your own emotions, exhausted by cycles you can't seem to break, and feeling out of touch with yourself and others. Maybe it's a relentless feeling of perfectionism or of being worn down by hypervigilance and worry about what's going to happen next.
I'm Kelly, and I work with individuals and LGBTQIA+ couples navigating relationship challenges, trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, and many other human experiences.

Life might look full, and on paper it might even look good, but something feels missing. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or caught in patterns that keep repeating. Often, the women I work with are capable, self-aware and used to holding everything together. But they’re asking, in one way or another, “Who am I?” and “how do I want to be in the world?” They’re looking for a space to explore what is actually true for them, and to reconnect with the parts of themselves that have gone quiet beneath years of adapting, coping and surviving.

I enjoy working with a diverse range of people. My approach brings together mind, body, emotion, and spirit, utilising a range of approaches and interventions such as: Polyvagal theory; somatic psychotherapy; cognitive approaches, mindfulness, and EMDR. I meet clients where they are at, regardless of situation, age, goals or struggles. I believe that each individual is the expert in their own lives and has within them the capacity for growth and healing, but I know that sometimes it can be helpful to have someone walking alongside, supporting the development of the insights and changes that lead to improved wellbeing.

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.
