You may be someone who looks after everyone else - anticipating needs, keeping things running and being the dependable one. Saying yes to others feels easy, but saying yes to yourself feels much harder.

You offer compassion freely to others yet hold yourself to standards you would never expect from anyone else.

By the evening, you’re exhausted but resting feels uncomfortable.

You might notice:

Guilt when you try to rest
Doing something for yourself feels selfish
Difficulty switching off
Growing exhaustion and quiet resentment

Over time, it can feel draining and unsustainable.

Many women I work with feel overwhelmed without fully knowing why. They’re doing, thinking, and holding a lot — yet rarely feel settled or at ease.

It can be difficult to recognise what they need, let alone ask for it. The fear of upsetting others often feels too great.

This can look like:

Struggling to identify your own needs
Avoiding asking for support
Prioritising others’ comfort
Keeping yourself small to keep the peace

I work with women who experience high levels of self-criticism, people-pleasing and a persistent sense of pressure to do more or be better. Often this develops over time and becomes the main way you motivate yourself, even when it’s leaving you exhausted, tense, or disconnected from what actually matters to you.

Online Therapy for Millennial and Gen Z Women Struggling with low Self-Worth, Self-Criticism and People Pleasing

1:1 Therapy Session

In a typical 1:1 therapy session, which lasts for 50 minutes and occurs weekly, we will embark on a journey to explore the aspects of your life that have led you to seek support.

The initial sessions will play an important role in gaining a deeper understanding of your background, past experiences and the specific reasons you are considering therapy.

It's important to note that the therapy process requires time and patience; there is no quick fix, and providing instant techniques often fails to produce lasting change. Our work together will be grounded in building a trusting relationship, allowing you to feel safe and supported as you navigate your thoughts and feelings.

I will ensure that the pace of our sessions aligns with your comfort and readiness, recognising that each person's journey is unique.

Your active participation and willingness to share will greatly enhance the effectiveness of our time together, laying the foundation for meaningful progress.

Free 15minute Consultation

I offer a free 15minute consultation via Google Meet where we can engage in a brief conversation about your current needs and challenges. This consultation is designed for us to briefly explore how I can support you and also to help you determine if my therapeutic approach feels right for you. It’s an opportunity for both of us to figure out if we are a good fit for each other, ensuring that you feel comfortable and confident in the therapeutic process. I look forward to connecting with you and discussing how we can work together.
