Psychotherapy offers a confidential space where you can speak freely and be heard by a curious and empathic listener. This process often uncovers deeper feelings, thoughts, and themes that may otherwise remain hidden. Being truly heard and known by another can help you understand yourself more deeply and strengthen your connection with yourself and the important relationships in your life.

Imagine feeling less anxious and self-critical, and instead more secure, empowered, and unapologetically yourself. You can be that woman!

I specialise in anxiety, relationship struggles, intimacy, grief and loss, emotional sensitivity, self-esteem, depression, mood changes, self-defeating behaviour, sexuality, spirituality, personal meaning, mid-life challenges, and life transitions.
In today’s society, there is a strong emphasis on finding quick remedies. This is clear when self-help books proliferate on our bedside tables, each offering three simple steps to solving our issues. While conventional wisdom says we should put aside our feelings and look for quick fixes, many long for deeper understanding and connection. I enjoy working with individuals interested in exploring the profound world of emotions. From my perspective, the most transformative experiences occur during those shared emotional moments. I am interested in the unconscious and “being” versus “doing”.

My clients are often driven entrepreneurs who appear to 'have it all together' externally yet internally they are struggling with negative emotions, conflicted thoughts and/or relationship difficulties. This is impacting the quality of their decision making and effectiveness as a leader while also contributing towards a general dissatisfaction in life. Although I love working with businesspeople, I welcome all enquiries from anyone who has a genuine desire to improve the quality of their life.

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.
