Do you ever feel like no matter what you do, you're just not quite good enough? Maybe it feels more extreme and often you feel like you hate yourself? Perhaps outwardly you are a confident and successful person but inwardly something just doesn't feel right? Low self-esteem can show up in various different ways - sometimes it's hard to even identify. Low self-esteem often pairs up with anxiety and/or depression. I also have an interest in working with emetophobia. Together we can set achievable goals and work together to make sustainable and lasting changes for life.

Hi, thanks for stopping by my profile and for taking the first step to finding a person-centered counsellor. Problems & issues in our lives can sometime be difficult to admit or express so this first step is an important one but it may also feel daunting and unfamiliar to do so. Often upsets & unresolved difficulties in one area of our life can throw other areas out of balance. Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, discrimination, bullying etc. can rob a life of joy. Therapy can be difficult at times but together we'll find a way for you to become the expert of your life story and to live your best life. You deserve that.

Living with an addiction can be extremely lonely and isolating. Felling that nobody understands you, comparing yourself to others, wondering 'will I ever get it right'. It can be a very debilitating illness that encourages low self esteem, anxiety and depression. Feeling that it has overtaken your life and that you have no control over it. In the counselling work I will not claim to 'fix' you. However, I can help facilitate a safe and confidential space for you to be heard and understood without judgement. Taking this step might just be your next step to freedom, and renewed self worth.

Facing the day with a niggling sense of confusion, unease or sadness will affect everything around you, it limits your ability to engage and really be in the moment. These feelings may be linked to a past event in your life, a situation you are currently in or you may be unclear as to why you feel this way. What is important is that at the centre is you. Often, we know we need to prioritise ourselves better, but maybe we do not know how to, we are unsure what we need and are hesitant to ask for this. Are you eager to find out why you respond the way you do? Why you think the way you do at times?

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
