About me…
I empower adults and adolescents to release self-doubt, reconnect with their inner strength and step into the most confident, capable version of themselves; to achieve their true potential – both personally and professionally.
Heart-led care is at the forefront of my approach and I blend evidence-based, clinical therapies with a grounded, soulful understanding of what it means to be human – to feel deeply, to be challenged, and to evolve. My work is a journey of transformation and self-discovery, tailored to my clients goals and needs. Drawing upon a diverse therapeutic and coaching toolkit – including Occupational, Solution-Focused and Cognitive Behavioural Therapies, EMDR Psychotherapy and Coaching – I co-create a safe, nurturing space for clients rediscover their inner wisdom and enhance their sense of self-worth.
I have a wealth of experiencing in supporting individuals to break free from fear, perfectionism, self-doubt and overwhelm – whether that’s in the classroom, on the field or in the workplace. My clients include students preparing for exams, athletes striving for peak performance and professionals navigating transitions, burnout or imposter syndrome.
My commitment is always to your wellbeing – ensuring you have the tools, insight and support to not only overcome challenges, but to truly thrive.
A journey of self-liberation…
If you’re ready to rise beyond self-doubt and step into your most authentic, unstoppable self – welcome!
Many clients begin this journey during times of transition or uncertainty – before exams, competitions, interviews, or following stress or burnout. Together, we move from survival to self-assurance, rediscovering a sense of freedom, calm and grounded strength. Sessions may include nurturing self-belief, rewriting old stories, opening to new possibilities and of course – supporting you to reach your own personal summit!
When you work with me, together, we’ll gently explore the issues holding you back, dissolve unhelpful old patterns and mental and emotional barriers, and help you rise to a place of increased resilience, authenticity, confidence and self-trust. Sessions are a collaborative, empowering process, where science meets soul – a journey of self-discovery, deep change and renewal to equip you to move through life with steadiness, clarity and courage.
I love supporting clients who…
- Are seeking balance and clarity after stress, anxiety, or burnout
- Are navigating change, uncertainty, or a loss of direction
- Long to feel calmer, clearer, and more in control of their thoughts and emotions
- Want to quieten the inner critic and release cycles of self-doubt
- Are ready to break through limiting beliefs that are hampering their performance
- Desire to reconnect with purpose, fulfilment and self-trust
- Are eager to cultivate lasting confidence and self-worth
This is your invitation to rise – to come home, to the heart of who you truly are and what you are capable of achieving; to rewrite your inner narrative and step fully into your true, limitless potential. Together, we’ll transform self-doubt into self-belief, fear into focus, and pressure into optimum performance.
Beyond the therapy room
With a background in clinical leadership, supervision, and the education of emerging therapists, I also collaborate with organisations to create bespoke group experiences and soulful, psychologically safe spaces that nurture collective growth and wellbeing. These sessions are designed to help teams reconnect – with themselves, with each other and with the deeper purpose that allows communities to thrive and flourish.
