"In the quiet of winter, the forest whispers: every snowfall is a blank page, every breath a chance to rewrite your story."

Welcome to The Mythic Self

Creativity isn’t just about making art—it’s about how you think, feel, and engage with the world. It’s about embracing new possibilities, trusting your instincts, and expressing your unique perspective in whatever you do. But self-doubt, fear, past wounds, and perfectionism can silence that inner voice, leaving you feeling stuck, uninspired, or disconnected from your deeper potential.

As a Registered Counselling Psychologist, I specialize in helping people move beyond anxiety, grief, trauma, and self-doubt so they can step fully into confidence, self-acceptance, and creative freedom. I understand how psychological barriers—whether imposter syndrome, fear of failure, unresolved pain, or burnout—can hold you back. My work is about helping you rewrite the narratives that limit you, heal what needs healing, and rediscover the fire within you.

Whether you are a writer, musician, artist, or performer—or a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, educator, or leader who wants to bring more creativity, intuition, and self-expression into your work—this space is for you. Creativity is not just for the ‘gifted few’—it’s a way of living with purpose, courage, and authenticity.

At The Mythic Self, I help people break free from mental and emotional roadblocks, reconnect with their true voice, and step into a life of deeper meaning, resilience, and creative flow.

If you’re ready to overcome what holds you back and embrace your fullest potential—whether in art, work, or life—I’d be honored to walk this path with you.

Welcome. This space was made for you. You belong here.

Transforming Emotional Pain: An Emotion-Focused Workbook.

Based on the principles of Emotion-Focused Therapy, and developed by clinicians and researchers, this client-focused workbook is designed to supplement psychotherapy and can also serve as a self-help book. It helps readers learn how to regulate feelings that are unpleasant and transform painful feelings, so that they can fulfil their needs and feel more connected and empowered in their lives. Providing a step-by-step sequential guide to exploring, embracing, and transforming emotions, the various chapters guide the reader to help overcome emotional avoidance, with sections on: transforming the emotional self-interrupter; transforming the inner self-worrier; transforming the self-critic; and healing from emotional injury.
