No commitment. Just a chance to talk and see if it feels helpful.
A client hasn't replied in two days and you've already started wondering whether they're leaving you.
You finally have a quiet afternoon, but instead of enjoying it, you start worrying about where the next project is coming from.
You tell yourself you'll stop working at six. Then open the laptop again after dinner.
You check your bank account more often than you'd like to admit.
You take a day off, then spend half of it feeling guilty for taking
a day off.
Someone asks "how's work?" You say "good" because explaining the truth feels exhausting.
You're tired. But slowing down somehow feels even more frightening.
And every now and then, usually after a difficult week, you find yourself wondering:
If any of this feels uncomfortably familiar, you're not alone.
And it doesn't necessarily mean you're bad at freelancing, bad at managing stress, or simply "not trying hard enough."
Freelance life asks us to live with an unusual amount of uncertainty, responsibility and isolation.
Sometimes, that takes a toll.
When you work for yourself, the boundaries between work and life can become surprisingly blurry.
Your income depends on you.
Finding the next client
depends on you.
Making difficult decisions
depends on you.
And when something goes wrong, you're the person
left alone, having to figure out what to do next.
I'm a psychologist specialising in the psychology of freelancing.
And I'm also a freelancer myself.
For the past few years, I've been studying, writing and speaking about the emotional realities of freelance life - while living many of them myself.
I became interested in this area because I kept seeing freelancers struggling with challenges that didn't quite fit the usual conversations about work and wellbeing.
The uncertainty of not knowing where the next project will come from.
The difficulty switching off when your income depends solely on you.
The strange relationship we develop with money, productivity and rest.
And the loneliness of carrying every difficult decision ourselves.
These aren't only business challenges.
They're psychological ones too.
That's why I created a space specifically for freelancers to talk about them. Because while freelancing can sometimes feel very lonely, you don't have to navigate all of it alone.
Maybe nothing is dramatically wrong.
You're working.
You're functioning.
You're getting things done.
Maybe you're more tired. More irritable.
You worry about work when you're supposed to be enjoying yourself.
You find it harder to switch off.
Maybe somewhere along the way, freelancing stopped feeling quite like the freedom you thought it would.
It's easy to tell yourself that other people have bigger problems.
That you're just stressed, and that "things will settle down soon".
That you should be able to handle this yourself.
But you don't need to wait until things become unbearable before talking to someone.
If something is making your life harder than it should be,
that's more than enough to want change.

Our conversations are shaped around what's happening in your life and what would actually be useful to you. That might mean helping you:
Make sense of what you're feeling.
Sometimes understanding why you're reacting the way you are can make things feel much less overwhelming.
Switch off without feeling guilty.
Not by pretending work doesn't matter, but by finding ways to create boundaries that actually make sense when you work for yourself.
Work through burnout and exhaustion.
Understand what's draining you, what's keeping you stuck, and what might need to change.
Navigate the uncertainty.
A slow month, a lost client or an unanswered email can quickly turn into "everything is falling apart." We separate the problem in front of you from everything your mind is adding to it.
Feel less alone with it.
Have somewhere to say the things you might not want to say to clients, friends, partners or even other freelancers.
Figure out what comes next.
Whether you're navigating a difficult period, thinking about changing the way you work, or questioning whether freelancing still makes sense for you.
These are some examples. If something else about freelance life is affecting your wellbeing, we can talk about it.
My approach is focused on what's happening in your life today. We'll make sense of what's going on, explore what's keeping things stuck, and look for practical ways to move forward that fit your situation.
Individual sessions
are 50 minutes
$150 USD
per session
There's no fixed programme and no minimum commitment. We might meet for a single focused session to work through something specific. Or we might continue working together for as long as our conversations feel useful. The number of sessions is 100% up to you.
The goal is not to reflect about the past,
it's to help you move forward.
You don't have to prepare anything.
You don't need to know exactly what's wrong.
There's no commitment to continue.
You can ask me anything about how I work
Our first conversation is simply a chance to meet. We'll talk about what's been feeling difficult lately, what you're hoping might change, and start thinking together about what could help.
If I believe another kind of support would be more helpful for you, I'll tell you honestly. There's no pressure to continue afterwards.

Maybe things will calm down after this project.
When that invoice
gets paid.
When you book the next client.
After the
holidays.

But if you keep finding yourself in the same place - exhausted, worried, unable to switch off, wondering how much longer you can keep doing this - it might be worth giving it 25 minutes instead of waiting for it to disappear on its own.
You don't need to make any big decisions today.
You can just start with a conversation.
