For more years than I care to remember, I masked the pain of my traumatic background, pushing through life as if everything was fine.

 

On the outside, I was successful, but inside, I was constantly battling self-doubt, perfectionism, and a deep fear of not being enough. 

 

For 25 years, I built myself a career in the corporate world. I was driven, ambitious, and always striving for the next goal, the next success, the next proof that I was good enough. I thrived in high-pressure environments, meeting targets, and pushed myself harder with every passing year.

​

But on the inside, it was a different story.

​

I was constantly second-guessing myself, battling an inner critic that told me I had to work harder, achieve more, and never let anyone see a flaw. No matter how much I accomplished, it never felt enough. I held myself to impossibly high standards, afraid that if I ever stopped, slowed down, or let my guard down, I’d somehow fail.

​

The Breaking Point

 

Years of perfectionism and people-pleasing had taken their toll. I was burnt out, emotionally drained, and completely disconnected from my own needs. I had spent decades proving my worth through my work —without ever stopping to ask if I truly believed in my own worth, outside of what I achieved.

​

I ignored the exhaustion.

I ignored the self-doubt and ignored the growing feeling that something wasn't right!

 

Until I couldn’t ignore it anymore as I was close to a breakdown.

​

It wasn’t until I faced my own complex trauma from childhood and relationships that I truly began to heal.

​​​

So, I stepped away. I left behind the world that had shaped so much of my identity and began the difficult but transformative process of healing everything that had kept me stuck.

​

The experience of healing through my own counselling journey led me to retrain as a counsellor and coach, and over the last 5 years I’ve helped thousands of other women do the same.
