BACKGROUND
Although privileged to have had Prep & Grammar school education, it is not as simple as some may presume.
With a ‘win mentality’ planted as an ear worm from the minute you walk in the door, being second best was never really an option.
My passion for music started at an early age and it was in Grammar school I finally found the place where I belonged… behind the drumkit! With 14 years experience and an ongoing career in a ruthless and competitive music industry as a professional female drummer, not only have I learned some important life lessons, but I have grown both personally & professionally.
This led me to my other passion and I developed my vocation towards counselling. My empathy and passion towards others in similar situations remains paramount in all areas of my work.
The results from my experience:
Burnout, exhaustion
Anxiety
Depression
Low self-esteem & confidence
Crippling perfectionism
Setting high expectations that were impossible to reach
Constant feelings of failure
Whether it be high powered job roles, performing or creative arts, sports or athletic performance or perhaps feeling overwhelmed by the pressure of trying to keep an ever-changing society happy;
I’m here to help.
therapeutic focus
As a private practitioner, my therapeutic work focuses on YOU [the client], alongside:
Supporting you to work out what you want in life rather than what society and others dictate.
Working together to help you learn how to manage your expectations and create sustainability and healthy balance.
Working together to create safe and healthy boundaries to help you maintain control emotionally, physically and socially.
How much longer can and will you grind yourself down?
Together we will set realistic goals, work through how you’re feeling and work on strengthening your confidence to gain control over your life.
