Do you find yourself stuck in self-doubt despite your accomplishments, waking up feeling like you’ll be “found out”? Perhaps you overprepare, then freeze when a new opportunity pops up. You’re not alone & you're not broken. I’m Dean, a psychotherapist, and I can guide you through your struggle with imposter syndrome, anxiety, and perfectionism. I've 20 years experience helping people just like you not only understand their negative inner voice but learn to quiet it. I blend CBT with ACT, CFT, & EMDR - always tailoring your plan to what feels right for you. It’s therapy that helps you act, breathe easier, & trust yourself more.
I'm a CBT therapist specialising in treating Imposter Syndrome. I help individuals end their struggle with self-doubt & feeling like a fraud, helping them to build confidence & trust in themselves, putting them firmly in the driver's seat & in control over how they live their lives. Learn to break free from the internal struggles & live life more fully.
Living with constant anxiety or self-doubt is draining. Taking that first step towards change is brave. Let's connect for a free 10-15 min call to explore if my approach feels right for you. No pressure, just a chance to talk & see if I can help you move forward.

I specialise in working with Anxiety Disorders, Low Self-Esteem & Imposter Syndrome. Treatment helps develop a better understanding of the problem, increased awareness of problematic thinking & behaviour patterns, (e.g., worrying, procrastination, avoidance) & what is maintaining them, developing practical skills to break these patterns, allowing you to live more authentically by your values.
