What to expect
Using an integrative approach, I tailor counselling to you—whether that’s working through anxiety, building confidence, improving relationships, or setting boundaries. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
Counselling with me is down-to-earth, warm, and conversational. I believe in being real—no clinical coldness or sitting in awkward silence. We might laugh, we might swear, and we’ll definitely get honest about what’s going on. I know therapy can feel daunting, but you don’t have to have all the answers before you start.
Reaching out can feel daunting, so let’s start in a way that feels right for you—whether that’s an email, a WhatsApp message, or a free 15-minute chat to answer any questions.
Ready to put yourself first for once? Let’s have a chat and see if I’m the right counsellor for you.
Does this sound like you?
-
It's easy for you to put others first but when it comes to prioritising yourself, you feel guilty
-
You struggle with self doubt and overthinking.
-
You feel stuck in ‘rescue’ mode, believing you need to fix everyone else's problems
-
You struggle with chronic anxiety, always anticipating the next crisis and you might experience panic attacks
-
You are overwhelmed from carrying the emotional and practical weight of others around you
-
Emotionally exhausted from balancing various roles both at home and work
-
You feel unable to say ‘no’ and feel guilty for prioritising yourself which has fuelled a pattern of people-pleasing
-
You’re probably the one others rely on—compassionate, dependable, the one who ‘has it all together’ but when it comes to yourself, self-criticism takes over.
-
You often put everything into work in an attempt to prove your sense of worth and achievements
You’re in the right place – You don’t have to keep running on empty.
Imagine if you could have the space to...
-
Manage chronic anxiety and overwhelm – Break free from cycles of overthinking, catastrophizing, and constant worry.
-
Navigate relationships with more ease – Learn to say ‘no’ without guilt and prioritise yourself while navigating relationships with confidence.
-
Feel more confident – In yourself and stop second-guessing your every decision.
-
Be kinder to yourself – Stop the cycle of self-criticism and finally feel good enough.
-
Let go of emotions you’ve held onto for years – Release frustration, guilt, and sadness in a space where you can process them freely and lighten the load.
-
Reconnect with who you are – Beyond caregiving and responsibility, rediscover your desires, interests, and values.
Counselling can be that space. A safe, supportive space where you can take off the mask and be yourself—without judgment. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, untangle the patterns that keep you stuck, and find practical ways to help you feel more in control of your life.
Many of my clients are deeply empathetic, and driven to care for others, yet struggle with chronic anxiety, overwhelm, and feeling invisible. I talk and write a lot about those that grew up feeling secondary, those that feel they need to fulfil a role of the ‘rescuer’, ‘fixer’ or the ‘responsible’ one because I’m passionate about people finding their worth outside of the roles they feel stuck in supporting everyone else.
However, it might be that none of this resonates with you and that’s ok, I’m open to working with anyone who feels my face or counselling style is what they are looking for. Counselling is your space - I’m open to exploring your challenges together.
