Who Am I?

A lot of founders and ceos are unaware how their emotions, such as fear, anger and shame affect their decision-making and leadership capacity, and thus impact their business’ growth. Founder therapy is is a 1:1 client-led, person-centred process akin to therapy for founders and CEOs to become more self-aware and expand their decision-making and leadership capacity. 

My approach is rooted in a humanistic belief: when you build greater self-awareness, you unlock the first domino in growth — the result is clearer decisions, healthier relationships, and stronger leadership.

I hold a postgraduate qualification in counselling and psychotherapy, and I’ve worked with founders and CEOs leading multi-seven companies and big teams. 

Alongside this, I’ve spent years inside businesses myself as both a marketer and a leader, so I understand the pressures and complexities of running and scaling a company.

In Founder Therapy, I help clients recognise how emotions such as fear, anger, and shame can quietly distort their decision-making and leadership capacity — and then support them in developing the awareness and resilience to lead with clarity.

Qualification

I hold a Graduate Diploma of Counselling from the Australian College of Applied Psychology (ACAP) — an accredited program focused on evidence-based therapeutic practice, emotional intelligence, and self-awareness.


My counselling training gives the psychological understanding; my hands-on leadership in real businesses brings practical relevance. Together, they equip me to help founders work skilfully with fear, anger and shame — and make clearer decisions & lead teams
