Do you know who you are? I help people move from stuck to stellar!
If you feel a connection with what you’ve just read, you’re exactly where you need to be. As a registered psychologist and qualified psychometrist, I help guide people toward a deeper understanding of themselves, helping them cultivate happier, more connected, and purpose-driven lives.
Life is a complex, ever-changing adventure, often filled with unexpected twists and turns that can leave us feeling lost, stuck, or disconnected from our true self. We also live in a world where we are increasingly more connected to others (i.e., smartphones and social media), but so disconnected from ourselves. If you are feeling unhappy or uncertain about your path in life, it is a sign that you have maybe gone astray from your true self. It is common to assume we can simply “think” our way out of this stuckness, but what we often need is a deeper turn inwards. I help others by being an external soundboard, someone who can ask those difficult questions, provide an alternative perspective, and reflect parts of yourself back to you.
I am not the expert on your life, neither is anyone else. You hold all the power to create a life that is full, authentic, and meaningful. All I need is a deep-rooted willingness to start.

It is the moments of decision
that truly shape your life.
Therapy acts as your compass when you’ve gotten lost.
As a qualified Counselling Psychologist and Psychometrist, I help people, like you, defeat personal challenges that are preventing you from living your best life. This may include personal struggles with limiting beliefs, career dissatisfaction, emptiness, loneliness, interpersonal difficulties, perfectionism, body dissatisfaction, depression, anxiety, burnout, addictive behaviours, and/or interpersonal difficulties.
I believe that learning to become aware of your unconscious patterns, internalised beliefs, patterned behaviours, and views of the world, really empowers you to change what needs changing. It also helps you understand who you are, why you do the things you do, what shaped you, and how you can leverage this to become the person you really want to be.
For the high striving entrepreneur, founder, and professional
You’ve built what most people only dream of—companies, careers, and reputations at the top of the game. From the outside, you look unstoppable. But inside, you feel disconnected. You’ve mastered the system, yet perfectionism, uncertainty, impostor syndrome, and fear of making the wrong next move keep you second-guessing yourself.
What you really want now is freedom—to build something that is yours, not just what was expected of you. To make decisions with confidence, not guilt.
To reconnect with who you are beyond the titles, and to find fulfilment in living with purpose, not just chasing the next milestone but pursuing with intention.

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”– Maya Angelou In a world obsessed with perpetual positivity and #gratitude journaling, we have become quite terrible at distinguishing between feeling down and being depressed.

There was a time in my life when I genuinely believed that rest was something you earned, like a badge of honour you got only after every box was ticked. After you felt you
“You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.”– Zig Ziglar So often, people believe that if only they had more self-belief, they would finally be able to move forward. You know, apply for that job they actuallywant, start the side-hustle they have been thinking about,

“Overthinking, also, best known as creating problems that are never there.” — David Sikhosana If you read the biographies of most successful athletes, performers, entrepreneurs, and leaders, you will inevitably find that they all grappled with perfectionism in some way, shape, or form. Yet, despite their perfectionistic tendencies, they managed to work with them
“If you avoid conflict to keep the peace, you start a war within yourself.” — Cheryl Richardson Have you ever found yourself agreeing to something you really did not want to do? Staying late at work, taking on an extra project, or attending an event you had no interest in, simply because saying “no”
