Does This Feel Familiar?

Common signs you may be dealing with more than just stress:

• You overthink everything you said in that meeting—or in that email.

• You’ve built a life of competence—but inside, you feel like a bit of a fake.

• You carry a low-level pressure most of the time—as if you’re behind or missing something.

• You’ve done what was expected… but secretly long for peace, softness, and maybe even a life that looks nothing like the one you’ve built.​​

You’re not alone.
For many women over 50, especially those who’ve achieved a lot, this inner tension becomes louder with age—not because you’re failing, but because something deeper is asking to be met.

 

Common Struggles I Help Women Over 50 Navigate

• Imposter syndrome despite decades of professional or caregiving success

• A relentless inner critic that questions every choice or moment of rest

• Perfectionism that once helped you thrive—but now feels exhausting

• Identity shifts: Who am I beyond the roles I've played for others?

• Life transitions: Career change, empty nest, loss, reinvention

• Anxiety or sadness that seems to come out of nowhere

• A sense of stuckness—even though “on paper” your life looks full

Start Working With Your Inner Critic Today

Before we even meet, you can begin shifting your relationship with that harsh inner voice.

I've created a free guide: "Befriending the Inner Critic: From Self-Doubt to Self-Trust in 3 Simple Steps"—a practical resource to help you recognise and soften the criticism that's been running the show.

This Isn’t Mindset Coaching—And It’s Not About Fixing You

The women I work with are often brilliant at pushing through—but that doesn’t mean they feel at peace.
They’ve carried the load, held the family together, hit the milestones—and yet feel disconnected from themselves.

This is where something new becomes possible.

​

A Slower, More Honest Approach to Healing

This work invites a pause.
A space to listen inward—without judgement, without needing to fix anything right away.

Using Internal Family Systems (IFS)—a compassionate, evidence-based modality—we explore the parts of you that push, criticise, shut down, or try to keep it all together.

You’ll begin to:

• Recognise the voice of the inner critic without being ruled by it

• Understand what it's trying to protect you from

• Make space for the parts of you that are tired, unsure, or longing for something more

• Reconnect with your own quiet, trustworthy inner guide

​

What Clients Often Notice as We Work Together

Early shifts (as you begin):

• Brief moments of inner quiet instead of mental chatter

• A softening of that harsh internal voice

• Glimpses of feeling “enough” without needing to prove it

​​

Deeper changes (as trust builds):

• A growing contentment that isn’t based on what others think

• Feeling proud of who you are—not just what you’ve achieved

• Inner steadiness, even during external stress

​​

Sustained transformation (with continued commitment):

• A shift from seeking approval to trusting yourself

• The ability to move through life without fighting yourself

• A deep, sustainable sense of self-worth and ease

​​

A Therapist Who Gets It

I’m not here to push you toward perfection, or to perform confidence.

I offer gentle, grounded support rooted in:

• Internal Family Systems (IFS Level 2)

• Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Level 1)

• Decades of contemplative practice

• Trauma-informed care for nervous system healing​

​

We don’t fight your inner critic. We get curious about it.
Together, we begin the kind of inner work that lasts—because it’s based on relationship, not resistance.

 

If You’re Ready to Begin

You don’t need to be more disciplined.
You don’t need to have all the answers.

You just need a space to slow down—and support that understands how high-functioning women like you have been trained to ignore their own needs.

This work is practical, embodied, and designed for your life now—not the one you had to hold together before.

Book a free 15-minute consultation to explore whether this is the right fit for you.

Sessions are available across Australia (Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and regional areas) and internationally via secure online video.
