COUNSELLING PSYCHOLOGIST
ESMARILDA
DANKAERT
If you plan on being anything less than what you were truly meant to be, you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life. Your meaningful life awaits.
Welcome, I’m glad you are here!
I’m Esmarilda Dankaert, Counselling Psychologist, Motivational Futurist and Imperfection Activist, and I help people, like you, defeat the personal challenges that are preventing you from living your best life, whether this presents as depression, anxiety, burnout, career dissatisfaction, addictive behaviours, interpersonal difficulties, perfectionism, body dissatisfaction, eating disorder, or self-harm. I believe we all do the best we can with what we have, even if it is not always for our betterment. As such, I help people to develop the self-insight and tools they need to heal themselves and get out of their own way. I just need an unyielding willingness to try! Your most meaningful life is waiting – why wait?
