Does this sound like you? You feel unable to communicate honestly. Saying no feels impossible, and speaking up fills you with anxiety. You constantly worry about what others think of you. Maybe you know you need to set some boundaries—but where do you even start?
Hi, I’m Mim (she/her), and you’re certainly not alone. As a recovering people-pleaser, I understand the anxiety that comes with even thinking about saying no. You don’t want to upset anyone, and you fear the consequences. As a fellow introvert, I understand you are seeking a calm and peaceful life and the idea of conflict and speaking up feels really scary, but it doesn't have to be.
I know what it’s like to feel as though keeping the peace is your responsibility—so much so that you end up at the bottom of your own priority list. You’ve spent so much time focusing on how others feel that you’ve lost sight of your needs.
Maybe you don’t even know what you truly think or feel anymore because it's been so long since you put yourself first. But maybe… you’re ready to make a change? To build confidence, set boundaries, and start prioritising yourself?
How I work
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all for therapy. We’re all different, with unique experiences, so I work in an integrative way. This means I take the time to understand you - your situation, your challenges, and what approaches will work best for you.
You may have heard of CBT, person-centered therapy, or psychodynamic therapy and thought, "What on earth are those about?" It’s easy to get lost in jargon! But don’t worry - you don’t need to research or understand all the details. The most important thing in therapy is that you feel comfortable talking to your therapist and that you feel respected, heard, and valued. That’s the experience I hope you’ll have while working with me.
Our sessions will go at your pace - you can show up exactly as you are - tea in hand, in comfy clothes, from the comfort of your own home.
How I Can Help
With my qualifications and experience, I can help you understand how people-pleasing affects your mental, emotional and physical well-being. Together, we’ll explore:
How anxiety shows up in your life
The impact of ‘people-pleasing mode’
Practical tools to help you feel calmer and more in control
How to break out of old patterns and beliefs
How to build confidence in speaking up and setting boundaries
If you’ve spent a lifetime prioritising others, change can feel uncomfortable - maybe even shameful. But that shame isn’t the truth. I’m here to help you unlearn those old stories and step into a more confident, authentic version of yourself.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
