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.
My approach goes beyond managing symptoms. I draw on CBT, EMDR, and somatic tools. We understand the deeper roots of your anxiety, and what your nervous system is trying to protect. When your system feels safe, the anxiety doesn’t have to be managed. You just feel present. Grounded. Fully yourself. That’s what I call Just Being.
You might look confident on the outside, but inside you’re anxious, overthinking, or waiting to be “found out.” I help deep feeling clients move beyond performance and into true presence — so you can feel calm, grounded, and fully yourself in the moments that matter. No issue is too big or small.
