As a multi-passionate, high-striver, I know how debilitating it can be when you feel you have lost your drive, creativity, and zest for life. As a practicing psychologist and self mastery coach, I help guide people towards deep self-understanding so that they can step out of their own way, with direction, and create the meaningful life they so desire.
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.
If you do not know who you are, the world will tell you.
Do you have an unexplained restlessness in your core? A feeling that you were meant for more? Doing more? Do you feel like you are not fulfilling your dreams and full potential? Feeling lost and stuck in life? Do things feel a bit meaningless? Attained career and life success but you still feel unfulfilled?
Research has repeatedly shown that the biggest regret people have in life is not living a life that is true to them and not having taken action towards fulfilling their dreams. Your life does not have to become this statistic.
Through my self-discovery programme I help guide those who are lost to re-discover their true selves, take action, and overcome those psychological barriers that keep them stuck. In essence, I help you get out of your own way!
If you feel this is what you need, why not start the journey back towards yourself today?
