The work I do is the work that changed my own life.

Anxious in social situations, a chronic people-pleaser, a perfectionist who could polish a project for weeks and never actually put it out.

Nobody knew. On the outside I looked cool, calm and collected — like a duck gliding down a stream. Underneath, I was paddling as fast as I could just to stay afloat.

And like most people, I went down the subscription route — various forms of therapy, the breathing exercises, the books, the podcasts. Nothing really changed. I went through phases of turning to drugs, alcohol and food just to get a break.

What finally shifted things for me wasn't willpower — it was hypnotherapy. It gave me a way of relating to my anxiety that actually made sense, and a way to work with my subconscious patterns instead of white-knuckling my way through them.

It changed my life. It gave me resolve.

That experience is why I do this work now. I'm trained in clinical hypnotherapy, NLP, and the TMA Resolve Anxiety approach, backed by a Bachelor of Psychological Science.

And, of course, what I bring to every session is understanding, empathy and insight that only comes from having sat in the client's chair myself.

Outside the room, I write music on the guitar, go for long walks and spend time at the beach. But most of my life is built around this practice, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
