I’m a therapist specialising in confidence, social anxiety (including public speaking anxiety) and visibility. I work with thoughtful clients who look accomplished on the outside — but behind the scenes, anxiety is calling the shots.
That anxiety might show up before big meetings.
In group settings where you feel on display.
Or in those quiet moments of overthinking, second-guessing, and wondering, “Am I really good enough to be here?”
Many of my clients are professionals, creatives or entrepreneurs. They’ve learned how to perform confidence — but it still feels effortful, and often exhausting, and doesn't eliminate anxiety.

I work with adults and young people who often appear to be coping on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or not good enough on the inside. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable individuals who find themselves caught in patterns of overthinking, procrastination, emotional shutdown, or self-doubt.
They are often drawn to therapy because something no longer feels sustainable—whether that’s anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, or a sense of disconnection from themselves. For many, these struggles are rooted in earlier experiences such as childhood neglect, unmet emotional needs, or trauma.

Do I need exposure and response prevention therapy?
Many clients decide to seek help for obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours when these symptoms are distressing enough to disrupt everyday life. Any thoughts or behaviours that cause friction in close relationships are also worth addressing. In addition, the client’s symptoms don’t have to be severe for them to benefit from ERP therapy.
Is exposure and response prevention therapy part of cognitive behavioural therapy?
Exposure and response prevention is one specific type of CBT that focuses on behavioural change in response to triggering stimuli. It is related to exposure therapy but adds an additional component of preventing compulsive and harmful responses.
How long does exposure and response prevention therapy take?
While every patient is different, exposure and response prevention therapy typically lasts around 12 sessions, although some treatments can take longer. A therapist will determine if the treatment is complete based on how the client faces their fears, particularly the strongest ones. When a client feels less anxiety about stimuli that once evoked terror or distress, that is generally an indication that they are nearing the end of ERP therapy.
What are the limitations of exposure and response prevention therapy?
The most common pitfalls of exposure and response prevention therapy include not addressing a client’s core fears, allowing the client to avoid their most distressing stimuli, and using imaginary exposure when the client requires real-life exposure (and vice versa). ERP therapy is most effective when the client commits to the full course of treatment; if the client stops early or doesn’t practice what they have learned outside of therapy sessions, they are less likely to have successful outcomes.
