I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years experience. Individuals coming to see me may be considering therapy for a specific concern or difficulty (e.g. anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties) or have a specific question, event or life transition that needs attention. Others may have noticed that they are stuck in unhelpful and painful patterns. Or perhaps wanting to get to know themselves on a deeper level or change the way they interact with themselves.

Most of us have compulsions and addictions to varying degrees, and recognise the feelings of frustration and stuckness that accompany them. Sometimes they are obvious, such as drinking despite negative consequences. Others are more subtle. There are protective masks we’ve learned to wear that we don't know how to put down, limiting beliefs heaped on us by the world that we carry as if we chose them, and behaviours we can’t explain yet can’t stop. All these possibly once provided a sense of safety. But with time, they limit and trap us. Working together I can help you uncover a new, freer path, allowing more of you to breathe.

I work with adults, young people, and families experiencing anxiety, trauma, low self-worth, emotional overwhelm, identity-related struggles, grief, and relationship difficulties, while remaining culturally aware and anti-oppressive.
Sometimes people come to therapy feeling emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in painful patterns, disconnected from themselves, or exhausted from carrying too much alone. You may be struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, relationship difficulties, past experiences, or a sense that you have spent much of your life surviving rather than truly feeling able to be yourself. I offer a warm, relational, and non-judgemental space where we can explore your experiences together and help you develop greater self-understanding, emotional clarity, and a more connected relationship with yourself and others.

Every individual has their own unique journey towards self-acceptance.

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.
