About

I work with people who struggle with a lot of self-doubt. I can support you in your journey in figuring out who you genuinely are and what you genuinely want for yourself. The aim is to support you in growing your confidence and belief in yourself. I am aware that at times life can feel quite confusing. Balancing different cultures and beliefs and not being quite sure about who you are and what your identity is.  What is certain however, is that the life you are leading isn’t working for you. It feels unfulfilled, unhappy, stuck. Somewhere along the lines, you forgot the value that you offer to yourself and to others.  This has led to a knock-on effect on how you feel about yourself, your self-esteem and even your relationships with others. These are some of the things I can help with: You’ve experienced a bereavement or loss, whether, of a loved one, or of a future that you envisaged for yourself that now feels unattainable.

You are experiencing relationship struggles, whether it be a breakup or communication issues, that are leaving you feeling confused. You’ve noticed patterns of unhealthy relationships, with loved ones or within friendships, but trying to explore and navigate the feelings around it feels overwhelming. You are feeling somewhat lost or confused about your purpose in life and recognising that where you are right now is not where you want to be, but trying to figure out where you want to be is causing more confusion and frustration within you. You are struggling with navigating communication and feelings around different generational and cultural mindsets, and the impact it is having on you and your relationships. You feel like you have to always give in to other’s needs but then having to sit with guilt and resentment or discomfort around such decisions. You feel like you are a giver but are not receiving from others in the same way. You are experiencing indecisiveness and questioning your decision making on a daily basis. Many of the above leave us feeling and thinking the below thoughts: Maybe I’m not good enough, no matter what I do. I can’t seem to get it right. I feel so misunderstood. I feel unseen. I fe
