Trying to figure important things out by yourself is just too difficult. There are times we need the perspective that comes from someone who really listens and cares about you. If you struggle with anxiety, depression, relationships, workplace bullying, bereavement, spiritual growth or being a woman in a male dominated profession (including facing legal issues), I'm here for you. With over 25 years' experience I can help you navigate difficult circumstances while you build confidence, self-esteem, improve personal boundaries and resolve trauma. If you're a dog person who appreciates a good sense of humour, we'll get along famously.

I aim to help clients find greater support in their lives by improving self-awareness and developing skills to work with moods, emotions and relationships. I value the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative space where both self-acceptance and change can be embraced. I can support with a range of human concerns, including anxiety; depression; emotion dysregulation; identity issues; substance use and addiction; self-harm; relationship issues; and self-esteem. I am trauma informed and sensitive to how the contexts of our lives (e.g. family, society and culture) can shape our experience.

People are most fulfilled when they have meaningful activity and connection to others both in immediate friends and the wider community. We’re happiest when we’re connected to others, connected to nature and have occupation/activity that means something to us. Every person is different and may take a different pathway towards self actualisation. I believe in meeting the client where they are and cooperatively choosing an approach to therapy. I am practical and client centred and believe good mental health starts with learning to regulate our emotions and nervous system.

Self Esteem Counsellors
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.
