Do you feel stuck in a cycle of self-doubt, low self-esteem, and self-criticism? Perhaps you find it easy to be kind to others but struggle to show that same compassion to yourself. You might feel weighed down by guilt, shame, or feelings of inadequacy, whether they stem from past experiences, recent events, or ongoing challenges with anxiety, OCD, PTSD, or depression.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and you don’t need to navigate it by yourself. My goal is to provide you with a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment. Together, we’ll identify the patterns keeping you stuck and work to replace self-criticism with self-compassion.

It can feel intimidating to open up to someone you don’t know, so I thought I’d share a little about myself beyond being a therapist. I love gardening—though last year, some cheeky rabbits enjoyed my vegetables more than I did! I’m an avid reader with a goal of finishing 35 books this year. And as a snack enthusiast, I always keep plenty of biscuits on hand!

I specialise in helping people who struggle with low self-esteem and self-compassion. If this resonates with you, I can support you in quieting your inner critic, processing past or recent events that bring guilt or shame, and finding ways to be kinder to yourself. You might be dealing with mental health challenges like OCD, PTSD, anxiety, or depression.
